Monte Carlo or Bust!

Monte Carlo or Bust is a 1969 BritishFrenchItalian coproduction comedy film, also known by its US title, Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies. The story is based on the Monte Carlo Rally first raced in 1911 and the film recalls this general era, set in the 1920s. A lavish allstar film Paramount putmillion behind it, it is the story of an epic car rally across Europe that involves a lot of eccentric characters from all over the world who will stop at nothing to win.

An international car rally in the 1920s attracts competitors from all over the world to compete in the Monte Carlo Rally. The arch rivals from England, Italy, France and Germany find that their greatest competition comes from the United States in the form of Chester Schofield Tony Curtis, who had won half of an automobile factory in a poker game with the late father of baronet Sir Cuthbert WareArmitage TerryThomas. WareArmitage has entered the race in a winnertakeall to exact revenge and win back the lost half of the company.The international cast of characters appear to mirror their national foibles. British Army officers Maj. Digby Dawlish Peter Cook and Lieut. Kit Barrington Dudley Moore, who have entered to preserve the honour of the British Empire, drive an outlandish vehicle festooned with odd inventions. Italian policemen Angelo Pincelli Walter Chiari and Marcello Agosti Lando Buzzanca seem to be more interested in chasing three French women, led by Doctor MarieClaude Mireille Darc. The German entry from overbearing Willi Schickel Gert Frbe and Otto Schwartz Peer Schmidt turn out to be convicts, driving with stolen gems on board. ........
