Sunday morning brunch

In keeping with our Sunday morning food theme, here is a Hollywood classic and perhaps the best pie fight ever captured on film. It's from Blake Edwards BRILLIANT comedy 'The Great Race' spoofing the 1909 car race from New York to Paris. Here we'll see Tony Curtis as the always good and clean and perfect Great Leslie, Natalie Wood as women's suffragette Maggie Dubois, Jack Lemmon pulling double duty and the evil bad guy Professor Fate and Prince Hapnik, Prince of Potsdorf and a young Peter Falk as Professor Fate's henchman Max.

I wonder how many takes of that they had to do. And it's amazing Tony Curtis was only hit once. That was some pretty disciplined pie-throwing.

That was great! Yeah, it had to take a few to get him through with NO pie schmutz on him....
