One of the annecdotes I recall from the last time Speedvision ran Grand Prix, was Frankenheimer talking about how they got all the footage of the drivers' footwork. They filmed it at Riverside(!), with Phil Hill and (I think) Richie Ginther driving up and down a straight with the bodywork off and cameras mounted to point at their feet. Both drivers knew Monaco so well that they could drive down the straight while driving Monaco in their minds, going through the same pattern of braking, heel-and-toe shifting, and accelerating. Fantastic stuff. You really come away with an understanding of what a piece of work that movie was, and why it could never be reproduced today. (The hokey story is irrelevant.)

The "Lost Drive-In" includes REALLY GREAT interviews with James Garner, David Hobbs, and John Frankenheimer. They go into tremendous detail about the making of the film. DON'T MISS IT!!! -Tony- Schlomo4 wrote:

Does anyone know if this film will be subject to "Canadian blackout" or not? I checked my local edition of TV Guide and there's no listing for the film. It's "NASCAR Today" or something. If I (we) can't get this, I just may collapse into three catfits and a caniption. HELP! J. P. Hovercraft ----------------------- Schlomo4 wrote:
