Supporting Actor
Recently I viewed THE GREAT RACE on one of the HD networks. It looked great. (I hope a BluRay is under consideration at Warners.) They fixed that sync problem during the credits where the boos and cheers were under the wrong characters. But when we get to the beginning of the actual race festivities, those whish sounds of the camera flashes still are missing. I am pretty sure they were there originally because a few sequences prior to that, you hear them clearly when Lemmon and Falk are getting ready to “fly” that bullet contraption on the railroad tracks. Does someone still have the laser or VHS of THE GREAT RACE and can confirm my memory? I read somewhere recently that the sync problem on the credits has been fixed on the current DVD, so they must have pressed new copies sometime back. Thanks
