PS Russ
Bout time for some Chrimbo drinkies n'est pa ?

Well, no sign of UK relaease that I can fathom - just tried Film Four, Guardian Films, and the good ole BBC, with no sign of the film  :-[

Amazon.co.uk have the soundtrack here http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000AS2OS/ref=sr_aps_music_1_1/026-5334968-4624404

no track listing

Just had a browse of IMDB, and the official release dates are/were:


No UK release and how come Japan got the premiere?!

My current information is that there is no English version of the Valliiant movie planned at the moment. You'll have to watch the original and brush-up your schoolboy French.   :)
Dave.

I'll try and get something sorted out monsieur, forgot that it was getting that close.
Be in touch when I've got a date and venue.

Ahh, there is that wonderful thing - subtitles!  ;D

Will it be like the Steve McLean film and have not much in the way of dialogue anyway?

If you can make it a Friday night (not this friday or next) then I'll bring along my girl who knows how to pleasure a banana ;)

You know who I mean ;)

Quite more dialogies, but not LM exclusive. LM is fewer than 25% of the total story, and it's full of stupidities like the shooting on the Bugatti !!!!

But it's a good motorracing movie with ice racing (the Vaillante rally is a modified 206 WRC)

... and I forget the wonderful soundtrack - rock and roll and race and pits sounds !!!

I know exactly who you mean!!! :o

That'll suit us too as Trayboy and Hinch are both in the land of the yellow peril until then.
Will post soon on the other thread.

Hi Rusty, Local Rock & Roll station plugged Rendevouz to day Now out on DVD as though it was NEWS.
Well it was to him. I wondered if your cover will be used here in Canada?
Does anyone really know who the driver was?
Canada Phil

Nice clip on Bentley site

Full title "C'était un Rendezvous"

http://www.bentleypublishers.com/gallery.htm?code=h706&subject=38&seqnum=6

It was made in in 1976, by Claude Lelouch. Myths include;

A Formula One driver did it a Ferrari 275 GTB.

Lelouch was arrested at the premiere.

Nobody seems to know. Rumours abound!

Saw it a few days ago. Top film

I always wondered what Peugot did with their prototypes once the car shows were done..

Of course many technical diversions from reality. (not nearly as much as Driven).

Subtitles are not really needed the plot is easy enough to follow even if your french isn't good enough to pick it all up.

I need to get it on dvd now...

You all need to see MV Tv serie broadcasted in mid 60's...
... he runs on Alpine cars not only in Le Mans but also F3000 and F1 and daytona...

And it's full of real drivers such as Bob Bondurant !!

 :( But The DVD is only in French  :P

Phil,
The story on Rendevouz that I've always heard is that Jean Pierre Beltoise did the driving.  When questioned about it he always replys with a wink and a nod but has never fully fessed up to it.  The re-release DVD version is supposed to be cleaned up nicely as well.  The original was kind of murky & grainy.

Hi Fax - and a HNY!
Someone over here recently had a good look at Rendezvous, comparing the times in the film to measured distances on the Parisian ground. It turns out that his average speed was around 35mph, and near the start of the film where he's apparently maxing the V12 in fifth, he's doing around 70. Doubt was also cast over the tyre noises compared to the different road surfaces.
I reckon the film was shot by from Robbos mini.
Great soundtrack though.
