I think that was Saul Bass. He was a master at that. He also did the comedic opening for It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World and the opening for Casino. He could create what was appropriate for the movie he was working on
2:58 - 3:12 - look at those names. It's sobering to think how, within a few years, so many would be dead - McLaren, Revson, Rindt (posthumous 1970 Champion), and an uncredited Jim Clark, while Hill would die in a plane crash with himself as pilot.

Ironically his character was based on Ferrari Italian driver Lorenzo Bandini who was horribly killed in a Ferrari at Montecarlo only 1 year after the movie was released in 1966. RIP Antonio and Lorenzo!
I never seen that one before! I started to think as it goes...mmh that looks like a Saul Bass editing, details and cuts like the shower scene in Psycho... Until the end I saw his name! Wow definitely something magic in his work!
The first time that I saw Grand Prix was a revelation..I was already a car guy but seeing the movie at The Cooper Cinerama movie theatre in Denver really inspired me and I have been a car guy ever since !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And build their own championship winning car like Jack Brabham did for 66 with him driving and 67 for team mate Denny Hulme. Never to be achieved again.
Oh my Lord, YES! Oh, how I miss those days. I remember that Fangio, called El Maestro, had won 5 world driving championships by the time I was like 3! I watched him since the German grand prix at Der Nordschleiffe in 1957. He came to kicketh much ass. And so he did.
The 40s~50s cars were unreliable, and more than 50% of the grid weren't able to finish a race, but Fangio managed the feat of winning 46% of the races he took part in. He was, simply put, the GOAT.
@@brunoa4049 It was far more than just luck. If that were true, some of the other front runners would've won rather than him. I watched him cut his times every lap. Pass everything in sight until they told him to stop. I drove GTP that way and it works.
I saw this film at the Melbourne Plaza Cinerama theatre. I thought it used the triple projector Cinerama system. However was the Panavision 70mm version credited here a simplified single projector version that might have been used. Very young at the time.
It is. The director signed a one year contract with each driver so they could get scenes with them. The best scene in the whole movie is the drivers meeting about road conditions at Spa. Every single driver racing at the time is in the scene talking.

This sequence was so modern & ahead of its time. It's a work of art forever to be viewed over & over for years to come.
What’s more with this is the coordination. Sure it’s a triump of editing but just imagine the colossal effort of that filming day.
Work of art for the opening credits.

This feels SO modern, the editing, the shots, it’s wild

I saw this movie as a kid in a Panavision theater. OMG.....

Thanks for sharing. This is probably one of my favorite Bass titles
John Frankenheimer was busy in 1966. He released two films that year, this one and Seconds, starring Rock Hudson.
Thank you !!
very great movie !!
I love John !!
レースの臨場感で手に汗握る。

Happy 55th Anniversary Grand Prix (1966) (December 21st 1966 - December 21st 2021)
If the mechanics were just tightening the suspension bolts on the grid, a driver should have been deeply worried.

the movie at The Cooper Cinerama movie theatre in Denver really inspired me and I have

Wouldn't it be fun to transport modern GP drivers back in time and see if they could master these cars with their quite basic handling?
And build their own championship winning car like Jack Brabham did for 66 with him driving and 67 for team mate Denny Hulme.
Never to be achieved again.

1:50 Is it just me, or that is Jochen Rindt?

@@84hachi wow....can you even begin to imagine that now? It would cost the GDP of several countries.
He got the nose and everything
Yes! It´s Jochen Rindt (1:50 to 1:56)
Greetings from Venezuela
@@84hachi Yeah that is such an amazing scene. So many legends in one room, in one scene. R.I.P. to all.
Patrick H Willems sent me.
Filmed in Super Panavision.
what font are the regular titles in? anyone can help me out?
Looks like Helvetica
I am here because of David Burge.
Not sure if it’s true, but I read that some of this was filmed by some university kid named George Lucas.
That is correct
