  • Overview
  • Details
Professional daredevil Leslie Gallant (Tony Curtis) convinces turn-of-the-century automakers that a race from New York to Paris will help promote car sales. Leslie's archrival, Prof. Fate (Jack Lemmon), vows to beat Leslie to the finish line in a car of Fate's own invention. What ensues is the wackiest transcontinental road race ever, directed by Blake Edwards and co-starring Natalie Wood. The film won an Oscar for Best Sound Effects.

Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this movie has some slapstick violence, and one character drinks too much. The reporter played by Natalie Wood is something of a caricature of feminism, more committed to shocking people than to any thoughtful concept of equality. But she has an unquenchable spirit, and she's courageous and resilient.

Sexual Content

Fate and Max speculate mildly about Leslie's relationship with DuBois.

Violence

Slapstick punches and, of course, the pie fight.

Language

Consumerism

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

The prince has a drinking problem; Leslie frequently has champagne as evidence of his sophistication and elegance.
