There seem to be a few car enthusiasts on the site, so I thought I would mention the fact that I caught this movie on cable last night. I had actually never seen it before, and was quite impressed with the quality of the cinematogrophy. The character of the old F1 cars was captured very well (especially the scream of those Ferraris!) Besides, who doesn't like a movie with Toshiro Mifune?
I often enjoy the pace at which older movies progressed. There seemed to be less reliance on music and constant action - scenes are quite comfortable with building themselves slowly and deliberately.
In the end, I still think the driving sequences were superior in Le Mans, but that's the kind of movie only a mother could love, so to speak...
