Grand Prix (movie)

Grand Prix is a action film released in 1966. It was directed by John Frankenheimer. It starred Yves Montand, James Garner, Eva Marie Saint, Brian Bedford and Antonio Sabato .

The film follows the fate of four Formula One drivers through one Gran Prix season:

• Jean-Pierre Sarti (played by Montand) - a Frenchman, last year's world champion who runs into some bad luck
• Pete Aron (played by Garner) - an American, who is on the come-back trail
• Scott Stoddard (played by Bedford) - an Englishman, recuperating from an almost fatal crash
• Nino Barlini (played by Sabato) - an Italian, a promising rookie

Sub-plots revolve around the woman who try to live with these men with such dangerous life-styles. Toshiro Mifune has a supporting role as a race team owner. As expected with Frankenheimer, terrific racing cinematrography is the main draw of the film.
