Jeremy Clarkson, in an interview with Eric Bana, thought the "good old days" of motor racing changed after Niki Lauda's accident in 1972, and when "Jackie Stewart really got into his stride with the safety thing". He wasn't alone in thinking the safety measures Stewart advocated detracted from the sport. "Grand Prix" gives an insight into what Formula One was like before the changes. Most of what I know about Formula One comes from this movie and the eye-opening 2013 documentary, "Life on the Limit". I may not be a motor racing fanatic, but I do love movies, and I think "Grand Prix" has a great script. It focuses on the lives and loves of four drivers. Only Italian Nino Barlini (Antonio Sabàto) loves the sport for the thrills and the glory. The others, Pete Aron (James Garner), Jean-Pierre Sarti (Yves Montand) and Scott Stoddard (Brian Bedford) do it for other reasons, often against their instincts. Although Garner was top billed, Yves Montand stole the show as the most philosophical of the drivers. However, when Jean-Pierre suggests that the crowds only come to see the accidents, Eva Marie Saint as Louise Frederickson best sums up what draws spectators to the sport, "There are some who come for the accidents and the fires. But the others... the others ride with you all. You put something in their lives they can't put there themselves". Seeing this on the wide-screen was awesome. When the curtains parted after the overture, and the camera pulled back to reveal the thundering exhaust as the flag went down on the Monaco Grand Prix you automatically pressed back against your seat. You would think starting with that amazing street-race risked making everything else anti-climatic, but no! The final race at Monza on those banking curves is even more spectacular. Maurice Jarre's monumental score gave a feeling of the cars shooting past. Even in its quieter moments, the score gives a sense that the track ominously awaits the protagonists. And what about beautiful Françoise Hardy as Lisa? She epitomised the off-the-track glamour of Formula One. I was sorry to learn she is not well these days. Director John Frankenheimer and the stars that played the drivers have gone now, but what a movie they left behind; whenever you see a list of motor racing movies, "Grand Prix" is at the top.

After 40 years, this still is a very exciting movie to watch, especially obviously for race fans and F1 fans in particular. As weird as it might sound, "Grand Prix" is a real period movie. There is an immense difference between '66 Grand Prix racing and present day Formula 1, in terms of rules, cars and mostly safety regulations. In that regard it makes "Grand Prix" an already outdated and old fashioned looking movie. By todays standards the races and cars in this movie look ancient. In a way it all speaks way more to the imagination, perhaps because of the reason that the sport looked (and was) so much more dangerous back then. It makes the movie also very exciting and the races in the movie thrilling. No way a movie like this could be made this present day. The story most definitely isn't the strongest aspect of the movie and it features some typical stereotypical and dramatic elements you could expect from a sport movie but thank goodness that the movie really lays its emphasis on the racing elements of the movie. The movie its story visits some of the best racing tracks in the world, Monte Carlo, Zandvoort, Spa-Francorchamps and Monza. Spa in the movie is still for most part a road circuit and the Monza track has a couple of large and incredibly dangerous banking on it, like a NASCAR track. For a racing fan it already is an huge experience to see this circuits in their old glory. The tracks looked better and were more challenging back then but also way more dangerous than now. None of the tracks still exist in this form present day. Also one of the powerful things about this movie is that everything is real. No miniature or computer generated cars and drivers, this is the real stuff! Racing movie really don't get more realistic than this, with for most of the time also the real actors racing in the real cars. Again; No way a movie like this could be made this present day. The movie uses some interesting experimental techniques, some more successful than others by the way, such as in-cockpit cameras and multiple split-screens. It makes the movie a totally unique viewing experience. The crashes in the movie are totally over-the-top but spectacular nonetheless. Seeing cars crashing in the Monte Carlo harbor and flying straight into the water is a spectacular sight. But not only the crashes are spectacular, also the races in general are brought spectacular to the screen. The way of filming puts us right into the cars and directly in the middle of the action. It makes us part of the action during the races, which should get your adrenaline flowing. The acting is the greatest, with the exception of Eva Marie Saint, who was really great. Nevertheless the characters remain good and interesting enough, although they are extremely stereotypical. It also seemed that all of the non-English speaking actors in the movie for halve of the time had no idea what they were saying. They deliver some of the lines in a totally wrong way, like they had no idea what their sentences meant. This goes mostly for Yves Montand but also for Antonio Sabato. But luckily, like I said before, the movie lays its emphasis in the racing elements of the movie, which makes the acting and story comes sort of secondary. For race fans (and Formala 1 fans in particular) an absolute must-see! Race movies don't get any better and more realistic than this one. 9/10 http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

If you are a car racing fan, you'll love this movie automatically. If you are a cinephile, you will appreciate it technically. If you are a writer, you will spit on the script. No matter. "Titanic" wasn't about that pathetic love triangle story. It was a vehicle to get you into the night the great ship was lost. Grand Prix uses a relatively lame storyline about the private lives of the drivers to get you into their circle. I think it's all just a part of putting the audience into the car. And I DO mean the car. Not a green screen half car and a CGI effect. A car. Several cars. At high speed, with cameras mounted and actors trained to actually drive them. No phony backgrounds projected. Watch NASCAR or INDY coverage on the SPEED Channel any weekend and you will see on-board shots from vidcams in real time. We're used to that now. Prior to "Grand Prix", there was NO such thing. Grand Prix stands with "Bullitt" and "The French Connection" as the greatest "cut to the chase" movies of all time. Nothing is done like this any more. If you want to see the masters at work, rent these movies. This is pure analog fun at it's best, and it just doesn't get better with the switch to digits, because the thrill leaves along with the risk factor. So tolerate the maudlin romantic claptrap. Laugh as you watch some of the stars of Formula 1 racing standing around grimacing into the camera at the infidelities of the British driver's wife (it is a riot), but stand and applaud in awe at the astounding achievement of John Frankenheimer and company at shooting a fictional Grand Prix season against the background of an actual Grand Prix season. It is awesome and worthy of your viewing time, even though the basic story falls short of Oscar caliber scripting.

This was the first film I ever saw that used split-screen shots and it flat blew me away. I saw it at the theater and the sound was also fantastic. Nothing like a race car sound to get the blood pumping! The acting is, for the most part, good and the story is good but not great. The basic premise is that the person driving the race car is, to the sponsors and the crowd, just part of the race car, not a person. The film, however, lets the viewer get to know the drivers. However, what really sets this film apart from all others is the cinematography, which is just awesome! This was one of the first times a camera ever went for a ride in a race car and the results are stunning. This is one of my favorite films of all time. All you Days of Thunder fans - it can't hold a candle to this one! How about LeMans? Nice try, but not up to this one either. This film stars James Garner and Eva Marie Saint, Toshiro Mifune, Jessica Walter and Yves Montand. When will this come out on DVD? It deserves a dolby 5.1 soundtrack. Make it a DVD with special features and commentary while much of the cast is still alive! The DVD is out and it's great AND has special features!

According to a recent biography of Steve McQueen, Grand Prix was supposed to be a project that he and John Frankenheimer were originally to work on. But the two had creative differences and went their separate ways doing separate racing pictures. What McQueen eventually did was Le Mans. I think Frankenheimer wound up with the far better product. Grand Prix is a Grand Hotel type film involving several people and their lives over the course of a few months on the European racing circuit. Many of the types fans of the sport will most likely recognize. James Garner is the American driver who's had a run of bad luck. A car crash has forced him to try and be color commentator for television, a role he can't fit in. Japanese auto industrialist Toshiro Mifune is offering him a way back into the circuit. Brian Bedford's sustained a serious crash and even before's he's healed he's driving through a lot of pain. His wife Jessica Walter thinks he's certifiable and she drifts into an affair with Garner whom she thinks is showing good sense in going for the life of sports television commentator. Antonio Sabato, father of the famed Calvin Klein model of the last decade, is the Epicurean live for the moment driver who doesn't take anything seriously except for the time he's actually competing. Definitely not his women as Francoise Hardy finds out. The veteran of the circuit, the Michael Jordan of the profession, is Yves Montand. The only real happiness he has is driving, not even an affair with journalist Eva Marie Saint is bringing him that. Montand is trapped in a loveless marriage to Genevieve Page who's the daughter of another automobile industrialist. His name means more prestige for daddy's firm, so she'll tolerate all infidelities. Montand is getting old and like many afraid his reflexes won't be there for him at one critical point too many. Back then these guys were racing at speeds of 180 miles an hour. Your life saving decisions at some point are taken out of your hands at those speeds. Whether it's the NASCAR circuit in the USA, the Grand Prix of Europe or even midget go cars, auto racing may in fact be the only truly international sport there is. It's stars come from every corner in this world except Antarctica. The sport is held in just about every country there is. It's also never become has politicized as the Olympics have become on occasion. The drivers who compete and the supporters and sponsors around them are an international fraternity that national boundaries have no meaning for. Despite the presence of so many international names, the star of the film is the sport itself. All the stories of the players are done against that backdrop. It's a tribute to John Frankenheimer that the individual stories did not get lost in the making of Grand Prix. The film won three Oscars, for Sound, for Sound Effects, and for Film Editing. Grand Prix is the best film on auto racing ever done. And it's presented in such a way that even people who don't follow the sport, can appreciate what the drivers go through. If possible see this one on the big screen.

Sometimes a theme /soundtrack makes a movie, or greatly compliments it. The theme to "Grand Prix" was overly played throughout the movie. It contained about eight bars that, when heard over and over during the course of an overly long movie, can stick in your head for a week. There was even a scene where a marching band played it, for goodness sake! That out of the way, the racing sequences were good, but the soapy plot was laughable. Toshiro Mifune's character seemed very pompous. He informed James Garner's character that during the war, he shot down eighteen American planes. I expected him next to say that he flew seventeen kamikaze missions. James Garner seemed extra wooden and he looked bored with the whole thing.

This flick is disappointing, frustrating & weak. At the cinema, as a 7 year old, it was truly stunning to see Formula 1 as it was in 1966. To this day & forever, the cars are absolutely gorgeous, their simplicity is their beauty, the engine noises a marvel, the tracks raced on, astonishing. However, Frankenheimer must have been hard of hearing, all money & no sense or thought he knew more than the men who raced. He had the opportunity, the opportunity, to make a truly epic film. The men racing F1 in this era would undoubtedly have wanted to promote their sport in it's most exciting light - a thing easily done if done right. Clark, Stewart, Hill, Hill, Brabham, Amon, McLaren, Rindt, Hulme & handfulls of other heroes were on hand to advise Frankenheimer what to film & where to film. But what we got was pitiful: all too quick glimpses of Spa Francorchamps, Clermont Ferrand, Zandvoort - truly awesome circuits. And where was the Nurburgring? The Nurburgring!!! And Rouen...To not include these circuits is too boggling for words. Too often the sound effects are downright embarrassing. Noises of braking when the opposite would happen or full acceleration into a hairpin corner! Are we, the general public, idiots? Count the minutes devoted to racing & then consider the films total length. During research I discovered Frankenheimer had at least one helicopter flying overhead filming, along with cameras set up on race cars during the actual grand prix races. In his film archive is footage, from both the air & ground, of an historic moment when during the first lap of the actual Belgian GP, the cars hit a torrent of rain half way round. The crash injured Jackie Stewart & took out 8 or so drivers. 7 finished. What we see in the film is a teetering car (fact), & wet weather driving from the car/drivers point of view with the cars doing literally 30 or 40 mph. Very weak. Did the director exploit the oddity that Brands Hatch has at it's startline? This film lacked authenticity. It could so EASILY have been done right: in a manner displaying F1 racing for what it was at the time - smoking tyres at the starts, often sideways & power sliding, often airborne & often as close as todays best MotoGP racing.
