C'était un Rendez-Vous
- Incredible film you likely have not seen.
On an August morning in 1976, French filmmaker Claude
Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper
of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1
racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris. No
streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit.
Make sure sound is turned on!
I think this driver drove our cab taking us back to the airport!

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. ~

Boot (K-417)
January 12, 1974
Written by Sheldon Keller
Directed by Don Weis
Guest Stars: Michael Lerner, Suzanne Zenor,
Johnny Kaymer |
| A riotous episode in which
Hawkeye will do anything to get a new pair of boots. In order to
get Zale to get him some, he must get an appointment for Zale with Futterman, the camp dentist, who will only do it if Henry will give
him a pass to Tokyo, and Henry will only grant the pass if Houlihan
will get off his back, which she will do only if the guys throw a
party for Frank's birthday with a cake, and Radar will only help get
the cake if he gets a date with Nurse Murphy, who will only date
someone with a hair dryer, and Klinger won't give up the hair dryer
unless he gets a section 8 (and Frank won't sign). The deal falls
through, much to the chagrin of Hawkeye. |
