Heads up: "The Great Race" at 2:30 p.m. EDT on TCM.

Still love this movie, with all the greats gone now. Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood, Jack Lemmon, Peter Falk, and so many more. Watch it for the first time, or for the 19th time.

It was powered by a Corvair six-cylinder engine with three-speed manual transmission. Fun movie.

Wood ranks up there with Ginger, Mary Ann and Mrs. Howell for the ability to pack so many clothes in such a small space for a relatively short outing.

Ms. Woods, with the exception of the lingerie scenes, is never seen in the same outfit twice.
