salivating enough waiting for it !). "Grand Prix" will be shown on
European TNT at 11pm UK time / 10pm CET this coming Friday (24th
July). Unfortunately, I don't think it's the letterbox (widescreen)
version, but you can't have everything, eh ?
For those who haven't come across "Grand Prix" before, it stars James
Garner and Yves Montand and follows the trials and tribulations of a
season of Formula 1 racing in the mid-1960's (the movie dates from
1966, but I can't remember which season it depicts). Despite the trite
plot and turgid acting, it contains some of the best motor racing
footage ever seen in a movie, filmed, as I remember, using real F1
drivers of the era. It's well worth a viewing for the breathtaking
footage of Monaco alone.
