Title: Good but...Man, What It Could Have Been!
Review: The comic talent collected for this movie was second to none. Just corralling and getting these enormously gifted people to work together must have been a job...Just like Stanley Kramer's burden in "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World." At least this version was not shot in Cinerama!So, if Rat Race is a remake of Mad Mad World, how does it stack up?Well, on the downside, no cinerama. No boffo ending. Some miscasting, e.g., Cuba.On the upside, less sentimentality. Better writing. The Hitler sequence is hysterical.If you need a good laugh, there's a bunch of them in here for you. Enjoy!
