In the 1965 movie "The Great Race", Jack Lemmon played the bumbling evil genius Professor Fate, who, with his loyal assistant Max (Peter Falk) tries to beat good guy "The Great Leslie" (Tony Curtis) in a New York to Paris auto race... One of my favorite movies of all time.
I've been accused of the Mad Inventor/Evil Genius thing more than a few times, so... Professor Fate it is.
