VINTAGE FILM The Great Race

It’s the Model T era in Technicolor: Rival daredevils, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon vie for the round-the-world prize – and for the affections of suffragette photjournalist Natalie Wood. In the process, the Americans destroy 4,000 pies and a little bit of Paris (inspiration for Team America?), all to another fine score from Henry Mancini.
