Additional Information
GRAND PRIX is John Frankenheimer's film about the nine-leg world championship of Formula 1 auto racing stars James Garner as driver Pete Aron. During the opening race in Monaco, a collision sends Pete's car flying into the Monte Carlo harbor, and British driver Scott Stoddard (Brian Bedford) into a wall. While Pete survives unhurt, Scott may lose the use of his legs, and many hold Pete responsible. Jean-Pierre Sarti (Yves Montand), whose marital boredom has led to an affair with fashion editor Louse Frederickson (Eva-Marie Saint), wins the next race at Clermont-Ferrand. Afterwards Pete accepts the sponsorship of Japanese business magnate Izo Yamura (Toshiro Mifune), and begins to romance Stoddard's jaded young wife Pat (Jessica Walter). Pete wins the Belgian leg of the contest, but Sarti goes into a depression after skidding on a wet track and killing two children in a crash. After Pete also takes the German Grand Prix, Stoddard amazingly returns for the Dutch event, and, driving on sheer grit, pulls out a victory. He proves it's no fluke by also winning in Watkins Glen, N.Y. and in Mexico, making the championship competitive once again. Essentially a soap opera interspersed with racing footage, the film's existence was ascribed by Frankenheimer to his fascination with the sport and a desire to spend time in Europe. That said, the racing sequences are still among the most realistic ever put on film, jammed with wide-angle helicopter shots, you-are-there car-mounted cameras, and then-fashionable split-screen sequences. GRAND PRIX is a definitely a film for racing fans.

  • Grand Prix - The movie

    This is a remarkable movie and is a must for motor racing fans. There is not much of a plot though, basically racing action and special effects are the strong points. Having said that it does portray the self-centered morals of competitors at the highest levels of sport. Ground breaking work in "in-car" footage combined with a wonderful soundtrack make the track scenes superb. Excellent music stirs the mix to produce a sensational experience. Accompanying "extras" provide a great insight to the production.

  • grand prix DVD

    great action film that really captures the feel of F1 motor racing during the sixties. Good story line too!, with which allows the viewer become involved with the lives, loves, and loss of motor sport.

  • Grand Prix DVD

    Being a motor sport fan I love films on the subject. Have not watched this one for ages and really enjoyed it. I did think the sound on the DVD was not of the best quality but its an old film.

  • Motor Racing at its best

    Exceptional and ground breaking cinematography.. Excellent support DVD with some wonderfull interviews and sound bites. A must for any cigar shaped racing enthusiast

  • Grand prix Dvd

    really enjoyed this film especially with the additional Dvd covering the making of the film, this added an extra dimension.
