Description:
 An air race from London to Paris in 1910 provides the premise for this marvelous comedy, which features thrilling aerial photography and some stupefying stunt flying. The international contest requires an international cast, including Stuart Whitman as a cowboy American interested in the ladylove (Sarah Miles) of an English ace (James Fox). Alberto Sordi and Gert Frobe represent the Italian and German nations; Terry-Thomas plans frightful sabotage for race day. From the jaunty opening song and the great opening-credits drawings by Gerald Searle onward, the movie has a pleasingly breezy tone that sits well with the meticulous flying sequences. With Robert Morley and Benny Hill. (Rated G, 138 minutes)
