This film was supposed to be a reunion of Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis, with the same hilarity they generated in "Some Like It Hot." Trouble was, they had virtually no scenes together in "Race," and the project suffered for it.
The idea of Jack Lemon using a monocular Spyglass and Peter Falk using Binoculars is a bit droll, considering that Mr. Falk has a glass eye. I wonder if they did it this way on purpose as as an in-joke sight-gag.
Jack Lemmon and Peter Falk are buried just a few meters from each other, and Natalie Wood is under 100 meters away. Lemmon's headstone simply reads *JACK LEMMON* and below that *in* , the joke being an implied "the ground."
It has recently been suggested that the artefacts in the tomb of king tut were smeared with toxic substances. These substances may have killed lord Carnarvon and others.
Seeing this now in High quality, You can see why the BBC used the most expensive Tv Cameras available, so on the Tv Sets of the future, it would look like it was recorded yesterday. 👍🏻😀

Oh I miss watching Morecambe and Wise soooo much. These two, the Two Ronnies, Mike Yarwood and so many more. They were true comedians. We haven’t seen their like since and unfortunately never will again. Today’s ‘comedians’ (and I use the term loosely) can’t hold a candle to them. RIP to all the late greats of comedy. We miss you 😢
This scene is a good example of signifying the contrasts between character. Tony Curtis plays a challenger who stands by his terms even if certain others don't see them the same way, while Jack Lemmon sells the schemer who goes to as much as entrepreneurial lengths for a less respectful outcome, which to him is more important than his legit achievements. Neither side see each other as more than contenders in the same cause. Then you see the lackey that Peter Falk cements, who is totally aware of his stance under Professor Fate but of nothing else. Regards, Samuel Farris.
