'''''Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines, [[Either or Title|or]] How I Flew from London to Paris in 25 Hours 11 Minutes''''', to give its [[Long Title|full title]], is a 1965 British film farce (released through [[Twentieth Century Fox]]) about an international air race held during the early, pre-[[World War I]] days of aviation. A wacky cast of characters assembles with their wacky aircraft, a love triangle develops, [[Worthy Opponent|Worthy Opponents]] square off, and great fun is had by all...except for those who can't stay in the air.
[[All-Star Cast|The brilliant international cast]] includes [[Stuart Whitman]], [[Sarah Miles]], [[James Fox]], [[Alberto Sordi]], [[Robert Morley]], [[Gert Fröbe]], [[Jean-Pierre Cassel]], [[Yûjirô Ishihara]], [[John Le Mesurier]], [[Benny Hill]], and [[Terry-Thomas]] as Sir Percy Ware-Armitage. Extra footage added for the American release featured popular comedian [[Red Skelton]] as a hapless victim of flight tests throughout the ages.
The 1969 [[Sequel]], ''Monte Carlo or Bust'' (aka ''Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies''), does for vintage cars what this movie does for vintage planes.
