Summary: They don't make em like this anymore
Review: This is one of the funniest movies ever made. It is every bit as good as the Great Race. If your a Terry Thomas fan this is Terry at his best. The airplanes used in this film are amazing.

Summary: Air Brainedly delightful!
Review: This is one of those movies that you want to stow away in your VHS collection and have the security of knowing that it is there. To call it priceless would be to do it an injustice. The wickedly funny devious and completely bungled antics of Terry Thomas alone provide motivation to watch this movie. The introduction video of the attempts made by men to fly along with Red Skelton playing the cave man obsesses with flying are simply hilarious. Primarily very 'pukka' as the English would say, there is enough humour in this movie for anybody in the family to enjoy. A must for comedy fans.

Summary: Absolutely gorgeous DVD of classic comedy!
Review: This is truly a marvelous DVD transfer of the classic 1965 comedy that the whole family can enjoy. The image is breathtakingly sharp, capturing the amazing aerial photography of the classic early planes, the elaborate aerodrome set, and the delightful costume design; the sound, too, is top-notch, with the classic score and title tune bouncing along merrily. But what will keep you coming back is the laugh-out-loud comedy; sure, it's all based on stereotypes for each nationality, but some good-natured ribbing could help these days. Besides, funny is funny, and this movie is very, very funny, with riotous performances from Gert Frobe, Jean-Pierre Cassel and Terry-Thomas. You should try to see this on as big a screen as possible; pure cinematic joy!

Summary: Refreshingly Charming
Review: This movie is a treat on DVD,crisp photography,great sound and the added bonus of the Intermission makes one feel they are back to the sixties in a theatre. To the audience of today this would not rank as comedy,but back in 1965 this was a massive hit. Do yourself a a favour,buy the DVD,instead of suffering Panand Scan versions shown on TV

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a shame
Review: This one of the funniest motion picture I've ever seen besides the fact of the originality of the aircraft. All of them are real vintage aircraft, for instance the french aviator's aircraft is a real Alberto Santos Dumont Demoiselle (project nr. 9).
It's a shame it is not yet released in DVD format.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The best racing comedy of the 1960s.
Review: This was yet another in a series of big-budget comedies that were so stuffed that had to include an intermission. (This 138 minute film has an intermission at the 79 minute mark, followed by a 6-minute Entr'acte, so that the second act is only 52 minutes.) It's also possibly the best one, along with IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD, but where IAMMMMW was at times overlong and peopled with nasty characters, you can care about the people in TMMITFM. It's funnier-with much broader comedy than the other, and a careful sense of time and place. There are a few laggy romantic bIts, but Those Magnificent Men is a fine film well served by 20th Century Fox. Well recommended.

Summary: Okay c'mon fly in the DVD!
Review: This wonderful movie is so chock full of laughs, adventure, romance and just plain old fashioned FUN it deserves to be on DVD in all its Todd-AO WIDESCREEN glory! It has beautiful cinematography, especially of the old airplanes in flight (and some not in flight...), a catchy, hummable musical score, and a prologue and epilogue with Red Skelton at his pantomimic best. The titles, by the great British cartoonist and satirist, Ronald Searle, are a movie unto themselves! Stuart Whitman, Sarah Miles, Terry Thomas, Robert Morley, and so many others are simply posh with pleasure to watch in a deliriously wacky story. Please, oh powers that be! get this movie on DVD!
