Monte Carlo or Bust is a 1969 comedy film. The story is based on the Monte Carlo Rally. The film is a British/French/Italian co-production, and was released in the US under the title Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies.
The film was a sequel to the 1965 hit Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines. Like the earlier film, it was written by Ken Annakin and Jack Davies and directed by Annakin, with music by Ron Goodwin. Some of the cast from the first film also returned, including Gert Fröbe, Eric Sykes and Terry-Thomas; the latter appeared as the son of the character he had played in the earlier film. Tony Curtis and Susan Hampshire played other contestants in the race.
The film was originally intended to be called Monte Carlo and All That Jazz. The American distributors Paramount Pictures re-titled it Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies for the U.S. release.
