Here’s the third episode of my podcast The Carbon Arc. This time, the subject is Blake Edwards’ The Great Race (1965) — and my guest is Mr. Todd Liebenow of The Forgotten Filmcast. The Great Race is a movie Todd and I adore. (It’s this blog’s namesake if you haven’t figured that out already.

The Hannibal 8 
Toby and Todd, I really enjoyed this one. They don’t make them like THE GREAT RACE(filmed 1964-65, released 1965) anymore, I first viewed this movie on its network television premiere in 1970. Part I on the CBS THURSDAY NIGHT MOVIE and Part II on the CBS FRIDAY NIGHT MOVIE.
THE GREAT RACE in my opinion is a Comedy Classic, hands down. It’s lavishly mounted to the inth degree and zany as all get out. What a cast and I just can’t think about anyone else in the leading roles, or the supporting roles for that matter. This hilarious farce is a slapstick-backslapping homage to Hollywood’s past, that we so revere as true movie fans. I got a kick out of your neat Hannibal 8 story. I could talk about this movie all day.
I haven’t viewed THE GREAT RACE in a while and I think it is about time for me to revisit this gem.
I look forward to your next THE CARBON ARC PODCAST.
