Grand Prix (1966)

Directed by John Frankenheimer. With James Garner, Eva Marie Saint, Yves Montand, Toshirô Mifune. American Grand Prix driver Pete Aron is fired by his Jordan-BRM racing team after a crash at Monaco that injures his British teammate, Scott Stoddard. While Stoddard struggles to recover, Aron begins to drive for the Japanese Yamura team, and becomes romantically involved with Stoddard's estranged wife.

Grand Prix is a 1966 American drama film about motorsports featuring an international ensemble cast.

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 characters played by 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 Françoise Hardy. The racing sequences are top-rank, cleverly utilizing those 1960s devices of helicopter angles and multiple screens. Oscars went to editor Frederic Steinkamp (among others) and the sound-effects supervisor Franklin E. Milton. Filmed on location, Grand Prix made back its cost about half a week into its run.

John Frankenheimer’s sweeping racing spectacle was originally shot in the “Cinerama” format, which was a short-lived forerunner to today’s Imax that used three cameras to create a ultra-wide panoramic image. The film features James Garner (who raced cars in real life) as a Grand Prix driver who wins, loses and loves on the international circuit. This is required viewing for any aficionado of classic 1960s Italian cars and/or vintage open-wheel racing. According to the Internet Movie Database, the racecars that were used in the film were in fact Formula 3 cars made up to look like Formula 1's. So much for accuracy. Grand Prix won academy awards for Sound, Sound Effects and Editing.
