I have never seen this movie. Is it possible to order it online? I doubt that my local video store would have it as my area isn't exactly a hotbed for auto racing. (except perhaps drag racing) ----------- http://surf.to/speedyfast26

I found it slightly dull :) Speedy Fast wrote:

(except perhaps drag racing) You can get it at Duke Video, but try one of the search engines -- I think you can find it cheaper at one of the MGM outlets. Speedvision did a great version that was intercut with "the making of" snippets, including interviews with John Frankenheimer, Jim Garner, and Jim Russell (of the Jim Russell Driving School, who trained the actors and prepared all the cars). I don't know if this version is available commercially -- I rather think not. BB

Well, I could send him a copy if he doesn't use NTSC. But maybe I break the law when I do that? :-) JoH
I'm not sure if the version I have has the Making of Grand Prix on it or not. I know it has the trailer on the tape. Its two tapes and the racing action is wonderful. The story is dull. I'll check on the Making of part when I get home this evening. Jason "Barton Brown" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

It is a terrible movie. I watch it all the time. -- Todd S.

MGM-UA released it under their "Screen Gems" collection as a two-pack set. This includes the original theatrical trailers, incorporating the overture to the movie. Available in the US wherever the "Screen Gems" collection is sold, I imagine. The chap who sent me my copy had no problem in sourcing it. Speedy Fast wrote:

You might be surprised about your local video store. In any case I got mine from buy.com for $18. Got LeMans for $7.
