4.0 out of 5 stars Nostalgic Sunday Afternoon Movie, 24 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines [VHS] [1965] (VHS Tape)
As a boy, this was the sort of movie that the whole family would watch, never mind how many times we had seen it before. The jokes are predictable and the characters typecast in a way that would unthinkable in the politaclly correct millenium, but the overall effect is endearing rather than racist, and we would all laugh at the slapstick humour of it all (yes "Benny Hill" makes an appearance) What I love about the movie is the characterisations themselves. Gert Fröbe (The guy who played Goldfinger!) is hysterical as the monocle wearing German Officer decked out in The Kaiser's finest regalia ("Nothing is impossible for a German Officer!") and Terry Thomas plays himself as the classic English Cad. The cinematopgraphy seems a trite slow when watched now, but I think this adds to the charm and the "romantic" element is almost cringeworthy, but it doesnt matter as You know you are watching a period piece, and you wouldnt want it any different

5.0 out of 5 stars High Flying Entertainment!, 10 Mar 2004
By F. V. L. Buliciri (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines [VHS] [1965] (VHS Tape)
What a marvellous film and certainly one of the wackiest films ever made in film history. A wealthy newspaper proprietor (Robert Morley) decides to sponsor an air-race from London to Paris. The invitation to race attracts competitors from all around the world and the usual villain or two intent on winning by cunning methods and devices.Terry-Thomas is in brilliant form as the villain here.
With an international star-studded cast such as James Fox, Stuart Whitman,Sarah Miles, Gert Frobe, Jean Pierre Cassel and the likes of the late Dame Flora Robson, Tony Hancock and Benny Hill to name but a few this film is unforgettable.It's zany, funny, mad and totally loud. This film has always been one of my favourite films since childhood and every time I see it I'm thoroughly entertained and never disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic - harmless fun with stereotypes, 9 Dec 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines [VHS] [1965] (VHS Tape)
Yes, I am an aviation enthusiast, and so I am a bit biased. But this movie is still fabulous. The race of planes between London and Paris is a setting for a wide group of characters - each a stereotype of the nation he's from. Seeing them is already wacky enough, seeing them attempting to fly planes is just hillarious. You can laugh with all your heart at the Germans, the French, the Italians, the British and the Scottish being exactly as we always imagined them as kids. The only annoying character is the American, the closest thing to a hero in this movie. It's harmless fun for the whole family.
