Yea, that'd be nice, though possibly difficult (as he's pretty much retired from the limelight). But, maybe he could have been persuaded to give a few minutes of his time for new material on this release (we hope, anyway)

Beautiful big Cinerama theater. Grand Prix was in English with Japanese subtitles.

Director John Frankenheimer said of James Garner's handling of the Formula One racer, that had Garner not chosen be a movie star, he could easily have had a great career as a race car driver.

That's cool, Frankenheimer would know. Garner & McQueen both.

For $13.99 too, I'll prob. try to preorder this one soon. Blind buy without any worries. What a concept!
