5.0 out of 5 stars
jaunty jalopies rock, January 21, 2000
This review is from: Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies (Monte Carlo or Bust) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
this film is a classic. it's great in so many ways. it's a prime example of old school filmmaking. they literally don't make films like this anymore. a cast of classic comic actors, assembled for a romp onscreen. the situations are clean, anyone in the family can watch the film. terry-thomas is dynamite, playing his typical nasty english cad role. tony curtis is good, playing chester scofield as a wacky nutty type of american adventurer. the subplot of germany vs. u.k. is funny as are the italian racers who want the fame and fortune, but also the girls. and the girls! early feminists. a great film all around. a must buy!

3.0 out of 5 stars
Light, but entertaining, November 30, 2002
This review is from: Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies (Monte Carlo or Bust) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Various comic characters from different countries gather for a road rally through Europe in the 20's, setting the stage for plenty of good-natured, family friendly hijinks. The international cast (including Tony Curtis and the wonderful Terry-Thomas) is very good. Although lightweight, the story moves along at a good pace. If you enjoy the kind of madcap comedies with large ensemble casts that were made so often in the 60's (think "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"), you'll probably get a kick out of this.
