  James Garner: Grand Prix - Movie
She played Kitty, the American visitor to Israel, and sometimes in GRAND PRIX she seems to be channeling all of "Kitty's" mannerisms, for both parts allow the US viewer to somehow enter, through her eyes, a complicated and complex European social system we might otherwise fail to register with.
GRAND PRIX also includes the amazing photography of Lionel Linden, a wonderful musical score by Maurice Jarre, and brilliant editing by a team lead by Henry Berman.
Like, a previous viewer - I was privileged to see GRAND PRIX several times during its initial release (in my case at the Cinerama dome in Hollywood) where the 70 mm Cinerama print, the projection, the sound, and the screen allowed the optimal presentation of the film.

 Feature: James Garner helped to put drive into classic racing movie 'Grand Prix'
But to auto racing fans worldwide, he is best remembered for his portrayal of Formula One driver Pete Aron in the 1966 epic movie "Grand Prix." He was an American car cowboy racing on some of the great street and road circuits of Europe.
Two months before the filming of "Grand Prix" began, Garner was hooked up with Bondurant, still competing in F1 and sports cars at the time, and given a quick course in race car driving at the Willow Springs road course located in the southern California desert.
Garners most exciting scene in the movie was one at Brands Hatch where his car exploded in flames as he crossed the finish line.

However, the racing sequences in Grand Prix are outstanding in that they are shot from the drivers perspective inside the cockpit.

 Amazon.ca: Reviews for Grand Prix: Video: John Frankenheimer,James Garner,Eva Marie Saint,Yves Montand,Toshirô ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
By far my favorite movie, I was fortunate enough to see it when it was released at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, and what an impact this film made on me. I look on the net several times a year searching for the news that it will be released on DVD.
The movie is on the light side as far as the story development goes, and while James Garner is very convincing as an American grand prix ace, one has a harder time buying this sort of act from Yves Montand who plays the aging Ferrari driver.
The #1 greatest racing movie ever made, Grand Prix was a very experimental film using brand new camera angles, new technologies, great story telling, and incredible insight into the greatest form of motorsport.

 Poll: Which Is the Better Racing Movie, "Grand Prix" or "LeMans" - Jalopnik
It's been established John Frankenheimer's "Grand Prix" was recently released on DVD, joining Steve Lee Katzin's (and Steve McQueen's labor of love), "LeMans" on the world's store shelves and mail-rental sleeves.
Both are pretty awsome movies, but they're really just GP/Le Mans races shot with movie cameras at interesting angles, and ultimately just exercises in self-indulgence for the film makers (and drivers, too).
(Actually, I saw this movie back in the day at a screening at the Zigfield in NY and in that beginning scene, where the cars first "start their engines", it was pretty amazing in a full on, subwoofers to 11, surround sound sort of way.
