One of the greatest car films ever, “C’était un rendez-vous”. I saw it for the first time as a kid on a fun fair in a 180 degree round projection room. Lately it has been dugg up and posted on various blogs. Now I found the 5th gear video with a little more background info about the making ansd the attempt of Vicky Butler-Henderson to make a rerun…
dear Vicky, next time try early mornings like in the original. Ok, due to more traffic even in the wee hours it is impossible nowadays to beat that time, but you’d make it under 2 hours, promised.
Interesting info, the car was not a Porsche or a Ferrari, but Claude Lelouch’s Mercedes 450 SEL 6.9. The sound is dubbed. Lelouch himself confired that in this 2006 “making of c’était un rendez-vous“
So here are some wikipedia articles, in French and in English. Further infos can be found on IMDB and on this French site.
