Program Notes
From the epic comedy/adventure movie The Great Race, Henry Mancini captured the essence of the film's tongue-in-cheek slapstick style with this terrific razzmatazz march. The march includes short segments of musical Americana.
- Program Note from publisher
The Great Race is a 1965 American slapstick comedy film starring Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, and Natalie Wood, directed by Blake Edwards, written by Edwards and Arthur A. Ross, and with music by Henry Mancini.
The story, a race between the daredevils The Great Leslie and Professor Fate, was inspired by the actual 1908 New York to Paris Race.
