GREAT RACE QUESTION (1 Viewer)

[trajan007]

The long palace hallway in THE GREAT RACE that Jack Lemmon as the king comes walking up sure looks like the long hallway in the My Fair Lady ballroom that Audrey Hepburn meets all the upper class. Possible? On on another note, the first ten minutes of THE GREAT RACE has a sound defect. You have to turn up the sound almost all the way to even here it. Sound goes back to normal during the boardroom scene. Wonder how this happened?

You must have the lucky disc, mine has the same level for the first 18 minutes as the rest of the movie.

THE GREAT RACE was filmed at the Warner Bros. studio a year after MY FAIR LADY was filmed at the Warner Bros. studio. Seems highly unlikely they'd go to the expense of building a new set when they've already got what they need.

It's not so much the sound, it's the dialogue that's a bit muddy for the first few minutes, the old DVD was just the same. I'd think most people don't even notice it.

The sound on the blu-ray is pretty bad for the first 18 minutes. At least they managed to fix the DVD sound effect screw-up where they transposed the booing and clapping over the Jack Lemmon/Tony Curtis title cards.
