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.
