I could watch this over and over. Superb comic performer. Jack Lemmon is a force like no other ,all comedy performers should aspire to. Long live jack. xxx
He was robbed of the Oscar for Days of Wine & Roses. Unfortunately, he was up against the iconic portrayal of Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird by Gregory Peck.
I bet Jack Lemmon enjoyed the role of despicable Professor Fate even more than the likable Prince, though, seeing him switch between them from scene to scene makes it so hilarious.
He was so astonishing in this role they seriously considered centering a whole movie around him. I’m glad they didn’t…the genius is more appreciated that way.
There are some great film classics which I want an experimental remake to be made or remain as what they are. I'm not an anti-remake fan, I only have my own scale and method. This movie THE GREAT RACE is the former case. Let Tom Hiddleston play Prof. Fate (a moustachio type of comedic villain he's long been dreaming to play) and Crown Prince Frederick Hoepnick (with the impressive laughter).
I was 10 when this movie came out. I laughed my ass off at the pie scene, and truly enjoyed the entire film. For my dad, it was one of his favorite comedies. Shame it wasn't a hit, but a good film nonetheless.
"That was exhausting"
One of the best introductions of a character I've ever seen.
Best conclusion to a procession, too.

jack gets my vote as the greatest film actor of the 20th century. he could seamlessly transition from this to "the days of wine and roses".
John Province You are RIGHT!

Now Jack Lemmon and Peter Sellers are batteling who' s the true master of disguise in Heaven.
1:55 "hi there!" 😂

The best parts of the Movie are Jack Lemmon.
And Jack Lemmon!
One of the funniest movies out!
THE!!!
Best movie I have ever seen

Jack Lemmon is playing it really camp, it's hysterical!
FACT: dead on 400 pies were made for the famous pie fight scene.
At least some of them found their everlasting peace on Natalies cleavage - I could live^h^h^h^h die with that.
...off by a factor of 10; it was 4,000 pies over 5 days.
King MICHAEL IS LAUGHING... THANK YOU, GOD... BEYOND WORDS... AMEN...
Shhh, jealous, they quiet.... scared of facts... ONLY WAY IN...
Jack Lemmon at his funniest.
rah! ohhhh rah!
That's funny. I laughed a good long time on this one. Having never experienced such thing myself, I can only imagine. Thanks.
Kind of reminds me of a cross between Liberace and Arthur Bach. I wonder what the chemistry between Jack and Dudley would be like...
This may be the best video on TH-cam.
Let's make a "Great Race 2..."

Someone that looks like me... Too bad no one can be like me...
Jack Lemmon would have made an excellent Joker if he was alive and young cause that laugh of his is kinda like a Joker laugh.

And why Jack Lemmon was not nominated for an Oscar for his part, I will never know.
senorkaboom He was nominated for best actor.
Uhhhhh....you better check your facts. Lemmon was not nominated for his role as Professor Fate.
...his son Chris said this was his best role, and the one Jack loved the most; Blake Edwards let Jack just run.
Brilliant!
Beats crying...soon
The prince's laugh reminds of Rip Taylor. :D
Throw more Brandy...
is it just me but 2:00 its just like putting a baby to bed
Well. Pair him up with Prince Poppycock and see what happens.
Its a laugh
Legend from this to JFK
Why Val want it a popstar for?
Kinda reminds ya of Kamala Harris!
