The Great Race

Husband and wife comedians Mike Bobbitt and Allyson Bobbitt take turns making each other watch a movie the other has never seen.

This week, Mike makes Allyson watch Blake Edwards' The Great Race starring Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood and Jack Lemmon.

It inspired the Wacky Races cartoon and was a huge part of Mike's childhood. The Great Race features a who's who of character actors. The comic banter between Jack Lemmon and Peter Falk is sensational. Will Allyson also enjoy this slapstick road trip comedy from 1965 nearly as much as Mike?
