Fab, you can read about Rendezvous on www.spiritlevelfilm.com they are also the distributors. To quote:
Our first release – the legendary “C’était un Rendezvous” by Claude Lelouch is a fine example. It has integrity, passion and cojones the size of cannonballs. It's certainly worth a buy. However, I reckon it's a fairly steady journey with a soundtrack dubbed on to it. The soundtrack is amazing though. H |

Brilliant. Another sad git..... When I used to have a tape player instead of a CD in the car I used to records the Radio Le Mans videos to audio tape and play them in the car. My missus thought that was the ultimate in sadness...... |

Thank you BigH and Bear : I definitely learned something today ! I've never heard of this movie before !
Funny that the title is written "rendezvous" without space or dash between the two words... The french title of this 9'30 movie is "Pour un rendez-vous" : Claude Lelouch explains that he had 9'30 of film left at the end of a big movie, and that he wanted to make a dream come true : to cross Paris flat out... he shot at 5h30am during the holidays in August. At the end, he had to face the Police chief : he took his licence with a harsh face, then gave it back to Lelouch with a smile saying "I had to keep your licence, but I didn't say how long ! My daugthers love your little movie"... I'm still unable to find out which car he used ; he doesn't say it. There was no protection. What about two young lads crossing the street at the wrong instant ? I prefer not to think about it... Last edited by Fab; 5 Apr 2004 at 05:50. |

To be honest, I'd be surprised if it was a performance car at all, it takes an age to pass a couple of ancient Renaults.
The soundtrack is fantastic, and no doubt. It almost takes your mind off the fact that the engine (sounds like a V12 to me!) is maxing out in fifth gear in a couple of spots, yet I would guess the speed at around 70mph... I did read a while ago that someone did in fact retrace the route, and the average speed was about 40mph or so. It was also the directors chance to test out the newly invented Steadicam, so it could have been a bit of very smart marketing as well. H |

Has got the movie "RendezVous" on my PC and it is great, also everyone thinks it is a Ferrari 275GTB/4 which they are using, but it isn't it is a Alpine A110, and I believe the driver is Jean Louis Schlesser (not sure)....

Two very technical analyses of Rendezvous and LeMans films.

There is also a very good book about the making of the film called A French Kiss With Death. It is well worth a read
