Here we have a great film "Monte Carlo Or Bust" or "Those Daring Young Men In Their Jaunty Jalopies" which i believe is the American title.
This is one of several of these epic comedy race films that was being made around this time, and they all seem to have the wonderful Terry Thomas in, playing his Sir the bounder role, which he was so wonderful at.
If you enjoy this check out, The Great Race, Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines" , "Its A Mad Mad Mad World" and even "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang".
This one is not just about Terry Thomas, we also get Tony Curtis, Susan Hampshire, Eric Sykes, Dudley Moore, Peter Cook and Gert Froebe (who like Terry Thomas also seems to be in all these films).
I have always enjoyed this right from being a child, it still holds up really well, and if anything i appreciate it even more now.
Highly recommened fun for all the family, enjoy Terry Thomas and the others, and as pointed out by someone else, think "Wacky Races" in film form with Terry Thomas as Dick Dastardly.
9 out of 10.
