Someone else loves The Great Race. I always loved the cartoonish quality to that great movie and one of my faves. Tony Curtis is one of the great legendary actors. Quite a time in film he went through and left quite a legacy and will live on with it.

It’s hard to work around that accent. Yul Brynner wasn’t so happy with him in Taras Bulba, but that is a great one too.

May you Rest In Peace Tony. Your movies for the most part were a joy to watch. You will live on in your film and in our hearts.
