I, too, am a huge Gert Frobe fan - this is an EXCELLENT movie to see him in - he is in rare form - I think better than "Those Magnificent Men"... It is now out on dvd - worth getting a copy. My dad took me to the theater when I was about 6 to see this movie. I still love it - and the music by Ron Goodwin is the BEST!!! I wish I could get the music to this movie.
Yes, it is worth seeing. It's certainly not the "best movie ever made", but is good clean fun. The scenery, cars, humor, and actors make up for any real lack any where else.
I saw this in the theatre back in the 60's, it didn't have Monte Carlo or Bust as I recall either. Wan't exactly a super memorable film but it only cost me 75 cents to see.
Well, maybe. I would bet most Americans have no idea of what the Monte Carlo Rally is or was. Nor did they in 1969. I am a performance rally fan in America and I can tell you for a fact that rallying is a very small sport over here. 95% of the people have no idea of what it is, nor do they care once they find out about it. Sad, but true.
What I find interesting about the opening of this movie is the fact that the Blue Mountain print logo appears at the start of this movie instead of the standard 1968 version of the 1954 Paramount logo.
Get out the jalopy and polish the wheels! She's got to be the smartest of the automobiles! Polish the paint work and clean off the rust! They won't see our chasis with dust! And when we arrive miles ahead of the rest Everyone will know that our jalopy is best! They'll have to admit she's a car you can trust So it's MONTE CARLO OR BUST As we drive along the block come along With an independent front suspension Every kind of new invention Any old thing you care to mention As we hold the crowd's attention We'll look around with condescension Mixed with a little apprehension MONTE CARLO OR BUST MONTE CARLO OR BUST We're on our way to Monte Carlo!

Ron Goodwin was the sign of a great movie.
Superb film with such a fantastic score from the brilliant and much missed Ron Goodwin.
Ron Goodwin is undoubtedly the master of the cinematic theme song, IMHO. Pure Genius...
Doesn't get better than this and 'Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines'.
Amazing job on this groovy bouncy tune!!
Love this movie and LOVE this song!
One of my favourite movie themes
Excellently neat yet very super groovy righteous job fellows!!
Love this theme Durante does the movie great service

Jimmy Durante sings great since he is a legend to Hollywood!!
Jimmy and his big nose. Ha cha cha cha cha cha.
RIP Ronald Searle
Cool animation
It's the younger brother of Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines.
Terry Thomas ,o melhor vilão da história das comédias.
THE GREAT JIMMY DURANTE singing the title song from a favourite film
Yes, it is worth seeing. It's certainly not the "best movie ever made", but is good clean fun. The scenery, cars, humor, and actors make up for any real lack any where else.
It's okay for a sequel to Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines.
Great movie!
great movie. funny as hell
eu assistí esse filme na infância , nunca rí tanto vendo um filme ,a sequencia final é de arrasar quarteirão.
and the singer was jimmy durante!
So what's the third movie's going to be, 'Those Spectacular Space Men and their Starships?'
And they're off, to a standing start.
The song that makes me want to own a Model T!
I love the movie, i love the song, a pitty the film did not appear on DVD REGION 2 ...

something about Jimmy Durante's voice that makes the song pop.
Is this film available on DVD?
Jimmy Durante sings great!!
