Professional daredevil and white-suited hero, The Great Leslie, convinces turn-of-the-century auto makers that a race from New York to Paris (westward across America, the Bering Straight and Russia) will help to promote automobile sales. Leslie's arch-rival, the mustached and black-attired Professor Fate vows to beat Leslie to the finish line in a car of Fate's own invention.
The Great Race trailer
The Great Race (1965), directed by Blake Edwards, is a comedy film and is available to stream on 11 services in the US. It doesn't yet have widely-aggregated ratings. Released in 1965, the film is a recognisable touchstone of 1960s comedy, and remains widely watched decades later.
The film stars Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, and Natalie Wood. At 160 minutes, it's a substantial commitment at over two hours. Plan accordingly: this is a movie that rewards a single sitting rather than being broken across multiple sessions.
You can watch The Great Race for free (with ads) on Kanopy, YouTube Free, Plex, Plex Channel, and Tubi — no subscription required, so it's the easiest option if you don't already pay for a streaming service.
