| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about The Longshot |
|---|
Tim Conway and Harvey Korman are together again in this hilarious racetrack romp about three luckless losers who stumble on a "hot" tip at the track and finance a high stakes wager using the Mafia's money.
But the road to the winner's circle hits a snag when their "sure thing" turns into a bad bet and these goofball gamblers wind up losing a lot more than their shirts.
While at the track, they get a tip from a track worker about his attempt to fix a race using a 40 to 1 longshot named French Majesty and giving it something that will make it run fast. They get the money, but find out the mob has their own horse, Papa Chippi, racing in the same race.
