Review of Grand Prix

Grand Prix (1966)
7/10
It's All About the Racing
11 December 2016
This is a movie with a really sappy love story. The people are a little cardboard in their interactions with one another. We have James Garner who was on the original Maverick and later Rockford Files. He has that cool collected being about him, unflappable. The star of this show is the incredible cinematography that gives us as honest a portrayal of the Grand Prix circuit (or any race for that matter) as we have seen. The course of things is really predictable. It is almost documentary in its adoration of the sport it presents. The close ups and actual races are so incredible. Now, that's from someone who has little or no interest in auto racing. I respect the people of the sport for the dangers they face, but its never really caught my attention.
