“Le Mans” may have tanked, but this was really a pet project for avid race fan, Steve McQueen. The legendary movie star portrayed Michael Delaney, and we watched him race the grueling 24 hour consecutive race held annually in France. Dialogue is at a minimum in this movie, and the real star is not the squinting eyes of Steve McQueen, but the footage and cinematography making this unlike any other auto racing film until that point. Unlike other McQueen projects, this has not lived on, but to diehard race fans, it has found a following. Beyond that set, chances are nobody remembers this film was ever made.
