Grand Prix (1966)
Cast: James Garner,
Eva Marie Saint, Yves Montand
Director: John Frankenheimer
|
Synopsis: There's a few million dollars' worth of star power and a nickel's
worth of plot in the lavish race-car melodrama
Grand Prix. Among the participants in this annual
cross-continent competition are
James Garner,
Yves Montand,
Brian Bedford and
Antonio Sabato. Interested parties include
Toshiro Mifune (his voice dubbed by
Paul Frees),
Adolfo Celi and
Claude Dauphin, while the women who agonize on the sidelines
include
Eva Marie Saint,
Jessica Walter and
Francoise Hardy. |
|
|
The racing sequences are top-rank, cleverly utilizing
those 1960s devices of helicopter angles and multiple screens. Oscars
went to editor
Frederick Steinkamp and the sound-effects supervisor
Franklin E. Milton. Filmed on location,
Grand Prix made back its cost about half a week into its run. ~
