Bonjour mes amis!
I was doing a web search for James Garner movies and came upon this site. I have been a fan of the GT-40 since high school, class of 1967. My best friend, Ray Fisher and I were really fanatics! I still have some memorabilia from the 1960's; an article that was in Playboy Magazine and some other literature.
I did a search here and found no reference to the French movie, "A Man And A Woman", from 1966. It has a spectacular, albeit short, GT-40 spot in a warm up solo. The sound is incredible!
The sequence of events starts about 25 minutes into the movie, when our hero fires up the GT-40. For the next two minutes, there is no dialog; just sounds of the motor getting buzzed at 11,000 RPM's around the track. There is a Mustang chase car that follows the GT-40 from the apron.
There also is a very brief warm up with, what I believe is a Lola.
It is the only bit of video GT-40 that I own; it is my favorite, so far.
Hope that you have the opportunity to view it for yourself.
Au Revior!
Alain
