When I was 10 years old - in 1965 - I watched The Great Race 10 times - he was a terrific actor - full of fun yet great in Spartacus too.

RIP

I liked Tony Curtis but he was far better suited for comedy than for drama. It’s hard to watch a movie like Spartacus when an actor (Curtis) speaks with a Brooklyn accent.

I watched The Great Race 10 times

Don’t think I’ve seen it ten times yet, but definitely one of my favorites, along with the Carry Grant submarine movie. The one whose title escapes me.

I loved The Great Race when I was little. Rented it on Netflix for my kids this summer and they loved it.

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.

I did about the same thing. My Mother would drop us off at the movies and we might end up seeing a picture at least 3 times before she came back to pick us up which was fine with us.
I loved The Great Race, my dad's name is Leslie so it made it even more special. Only film I know where the Hero was named Leslie, gave dad a DVD of that film.
I also loved that car, “The Leslie Special”, boy I wish I had that car!!!!!!!!!!!!!
