Member Rating:  
There's a few million dollars' worth of star power and a nickel's worth of plot in the lavish race-car melodrama Grand Prix. Among the participants in this annual cross-continent competition are characters played by James Garner, Yves Montand, Brian Bedford, and Antonio Sabato. Interested parties include Toshiro Mifune (his voice dubbed by Paul Frees), Adolfo Celi, and Claude Dauphin, while the women who agonize on the sidelines include Eva Marie Saint, Jessica Walter, and Françoise Hardy. The racing sequences are top-rank, cleverly utilizing those 1960s devices of helicopter angles and multiple screens. Oscars went to editor Frederic Steinkamp (among others) and the sound-effects supervisor Franklin E. Milton. Filmed on location, Grand Prix made back its cost about half a week into its run. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    Once and awhile Hollywood makes a great film. It happens when all the elements such as a directors vision, a great cast, a good story and screenplay and the technical know how of how to make it all fall into place; and it all happened in 1966 when "Grand Prix" first made its appearence on the silver screen. Filmed at a time when Grand Prix Formula I racing was done by factory teams and driving legends; and unfeddered by corporate sponsership, the movie was created by racing purist for racing purist. It illistrates all the excitement, glamore and thrills of this amazing sport and gives the audience a rare look at what its really like to drive in these events. If you love racing this is the movie for you!

    This movie has two really distinct parts, On Track and Off Track. The racing sequences are really, really, really good. Great camera work, great action. Amazing stuff considering when it was shot. The Off Track story is well... boring.

    You'll need to get both discs to see entire film! Disc 1 has the film up to the intermission. Disc 2 has the second half of film,and extra features.... Not a great film. I tried to watch the whole thing but the plot really is so predictable. I ended up fast forwarding to the racing scenes,which is real F1 racing from about1964 or 65,pretty cool stuff. Ciao
