C'etait Un Rendezvous

I read about this and had to find it. Freakin' awesome!

==============

C'etait Un Rendezvous -- the adrenaline-filled brainchild of director
Claude Lelouch, filmed in 1976. It's nine minutes of uncut, unaltered
footage shot from the front bumper of a car racing through Paris at
unconscionable speeds in the wee hours of an August morning.

There are zillions of rumors swirling around this one, some say the
car is a Ferrari 275 GTB Lelouch had just purchased, others insist it
was his Mercedes 450 SEL. The apparent raison d'etre for the film was
that he found himself with an unused gyro-stabilized camera for a
short while at the end of a shoot. City authorities denied his request
to block off streets for the film, so he did it illegally -- with the
help of one or more assistants communicating by Walkie Talkie (which
apparently didn't work right, leaving the driver flying blind).

Lelouch was most likely the driver, and may or may not have been
arrested following the film's initial screening, although we'll
probably never know the true story behind this crazy stunt.
