Plot Summary
This extraordinary comic version of the historic 1910 London-to-Paris air race features the greatest aviators from around the world. They all come together when a stuffy, but very rich, newspaper publisher decides to sponsor an airplane race across the English Channel. Convinced it will give his newspaper worldwide publicity, the publisher offers 10,000 pounds to the winner. The escapades between the American, British, French, German, Italian and Japanese teams result in the most daring and hilarious in-flight acrobatic stunts ever caught on film. But the film's greatest triumph is the amazing re-creation of the vintage airplanes which did the actual flying.

Helped define the genre of humorous movies of the 60
This movie helped define the movie studios of the 60's. "TMMITFM" is uttered in the same breath as "Mary Poppins", "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" and also the "Carry On..." series of movies from Great Britain. If you want a piece of movie history from the 60's, then this is it. Humorous and delightful (but not really comedy as we understand it today). It transports me back in time to the 60's of my childhood.
Those Magnificent Men are hillarious!
I hardly watch movies, but this particular one is very exceptional and I never get tired of watching. Thank you iTunes. Massoud, Escondido, CA
