889 - The Great Race (1965)

New York to Paris via the Wild West, Alaska, Russia, the baronial halls of Europe, to the Eiffel Tower...with 1000 hair-raising adventures and 1001 roof-raising laughs along the way. From the producers of "My Fair Lady" in the same magnificent medium of Super Panavision "70" and Technicolor. Cost 14 Million Dollars to Make and for Laughs Alone Worth Every Cent of It.

Storyline:
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.
