## Description

Im Kampf um die Weltmeisterschaft kann es nur einen Champion geben. Bei atemberaubendem Tempo wollen vier Formel-1-Piloten herausfinden, wer der Beste ist. James Garner, Yves Montand, Brian Bedford und Antonio Sabato spielen die Männer im Geschwindigkeitsrausch; hohe Drehzahlen, spektakuläre Bilder und persönliche Schicksale sorgen für packende Momente. Außerdem mit dabei sind Eva Marie Saint und Toshiro Mifune. John Frankenheimer drehte diesen mit drei Oscars ausgezeichneten Film, wobei er die Leinwand oft in mehrere Bilder aufteilt, um die Gleichzeitigkeit des dramatischen Geschehens unmittelbar zu zeigen. Die Kameras werden so hautnah in die Action integriert, als ob wir Zuschauer selbst am Steuer säßen. Fast 30 Spitzenfahrer sind an den orkan-starken Pistenduellen beteiligt – da heißt es anschnallen. Bonusmaterial: Bis ans Limit: Das Making-Of Grand Prix; Volle Pulle: Regel Nr. 1 der 60er Jahre; Stil und Sound der Geschwindigkeit; Brands Hatch: Hinter der Zielflagge; Grand Prix: Die Herausforderung der Champions; Speed Chanel: Der Geschwindigkeitskanal; USA-Kinotrailer;

Review: The Best...race movie - This is the best race movie ever made. Period. And I doubt one like it can ever be made again because this was done in the real world and, now, everyone (directors etc) will want to do one using computer graphics and it will not have the same feel of realism.["Driven" with Stallone would be a good example of this] Also, I doubt, due to safety concerns/insurance etc, that one can be made this way again. The "How the Movie was Made" is worth a huge chunk of the selling price. The quality of the DVD is a great improvement, especially on an HD TV, over the VHS copy I've owned for some time. The reason I say "Grand Prix" is the best is that "LeMans" lacks a strong story line or its story line pales next to the action, whereas "Grand Prix"s story hangs in there fairly well. However, one can argue "LeMans" has just as good race photography and, again, I doubt if a movie like it can be made now. "Grand Prix" has an excellent cast of very well known (at the time) actors from the U.S. and Europe. The photography of Europe is great as are the race scenes. There is romance involved to keep the story line going on something other than race after race. There is some tear jerker moments for the sentimental. Speaking of story lines, I remember when "LeMans" came out that one of the NBC "Today Show" film critics, Judith Crist, lambasted the movie and said words to the effect that "McQueen should have shot it on 8mm and shown it as home movies". She's also the critic who said that "Candy" would set back pornography a 100 years. :) As for story lines, another decent effort at a race movie is "Winning" with Paul Newman and his wife. A product of its day, the film tries pretty hard to combine a decent story with racing. Along with racing there are cheating wives, just the thing to spice up a race movie. I would guess this is where PN picked up his love of racing which lasted 30+ years. His co-star is his wife. And, last and least, is "Red Line 7000" which, when it came out, was a pretty cool drive-in movie and still stands up as a bit of kitsch of the time. The race descriptions by the "on track" announcer are guite funny but where else are you going to see a guy driving a Shelby Daytona Coupe around on the street? Besides, its one of James Caan's first roles, if not the first. Oh, and the "on track announcer" in "Winning" might be of the same cloth if memory serves. One reason I probably have a soft spot for these movies is that they came out about the time I was a young Sports Car Club of America racer myself. My new wife and I were really into this stuff. We drove 200 miles round trip one weekday night in order to see "LeMans" several weeks earlier than what would have been the case if we hadn't, due to where we lived. I've recently purchased "Winning", "LeMans" and "Grand Prix" to donate to my small town library, spreading the joy of racing. Thanks to desertcart, I can afford to do it.
Review: Finally... - Grand Prix is the greatest racing movie of all time. Having searched and paid a premium for the VHS version, you can imagine my excitement when I learned of the DVD release of the movie. I was not disappointed. The pedigree of the movie is stellar. The director is John Frankenheimer. An international cast includes Eva Marie Sainte, Toshiro Mifune, James Gardner, and Yves Montand. Francoise Hardy ("Tous les garcons et les filles") is so hot, also credibly acts in this film. Actual team names and cars (Ferrari, BRM, and All American Racing, but sadly not Lotus nor Honda) and famous drivers (Phil Hill, Graham Hill, Bruce McClaren), are in the movie and involved in the filming of the movie. Actual race footage is incorporated into the movie. Actual drivers are present in the movie. The film won three technical Academy Awards, best film editing, sound and sound effects. Before IMAX, before video games, before video cams, using sixteen Panavision cameras, some mounted on the racing cars, some in a Ford GT 40 chase car, Frankenheimer provides the exquisite shots we expect today on ESPN or SPEED...the view of the driver and pan to the front view, the vibration, the buffeting, the sweeping blur about a hairpin of actual driving. That is why the movie stands the test of time. As stated in the additional materials, it is unlikely that a racing movie of this scale will ever be made again. But this is not a documentary. A great movie, even if it isn't true, is realistic enough that you believe that is reality. The story lines touch on real issues... is winning everything, why do men like to go fast, are their significant others uneasy, why is death or danger ignored, can relationships be serious or merely transitory... It also provides a vicarious look into Grand Prix racing in the 1960's, the fashion, the life, the glamour. Grand Prix DVD also provides special features that demand purchasing the DVD even if you have the VHS version (sans special features of course). Five documentaries are provided...This movie was viewed on a 27 inch flat screen TV, sound through a subwoofer and two satellite speakers (two five inch mid-range, one two inch tweeter per speaker) and the sound was great (it did win an Academy award for sound)... I can hardly wait to see it on my friend's 52 inch wide-screen with Dolby Digital 5.1. Wow...what a movie.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ageless racing classic
*by L***E on March 9, 2007*

The characters are not fully developed and the plot is pretty simple, but this movie is about Grand Prix racing itself. In that sense, the movie does a superb job of providing the look and feel of Grand Prix driving. The characters and plot are merely a framework to introduce the public to Grand Prix racing, and "hollywood" dramatics are kept to a minimum. In many scenes, 1966 film technology was used to place you in the cockpit at 130 mph. The quality of this 1966 version of virtual reality surpasses the effect achieved by placing minicams inside modern racing cars. Most minicams record scenes of race cars negotiating a repetitive oval track. In "Grand Prix", you are liable to loose your orientation when a camera car rounds a hairpin at Monaco at about 45 mph. The whole picture becomes an abstract swirl of smeared shapes. Never again will you see yourself racing down a straight away with unprotected spectators blurring passed you at 130 mph as they stand just 15-20 yards from the road. Safety was atrocious in 1966. In other scenes, the movie becomes an art film where racing scenes are montaged into overlaping and blended images that keep time with classical music selections. The characters and the plot never over-power the movie. They do provide breaks from watching too much racing, and the characters portray the motivations of the drivers, the owners, and the significant others who are affected by such a dangerous sport. Several real Grand Prix champions have minor parts in the movie, which lends some additional interest. It is a little eerie to see a movie about race car drivers where real race car drivers sort of drift in and around the actors during the "people" scenes. Character, plot, 1966 virtual reality, and film artistry blend perfectly to provide an exciting, entertaining, and virtually flawless film about racing in the 1966 Grand Prix season
