1976 short filmed titled ?C?était un rendez-vous? or ?It was a Rendevous?- which follows a car driving at ridiculous speeds through the streets of Paris at 5:30 in the morning. It features a continuous, 9-minute shot from a gyro-stablized bumper-mount.
The director, Claude Lelouch was already an established French filmmaker, supposedly having made good on the film ?Un Homme et une Femme,? allowing him to purchase a Ferrari 275 GTB which was rumored to have been used in ?Rendezvous.?
Looking back, it has been believed that it was not in fact a Ferrari but a Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 - and that Ferrari sounds were later dubbed in to make it sound more ferocious. Also, contrary to Lelouch?s earlier claims, it was not a contracted Formula 1 driver in the cockpit, but the filmmaker himself. According to Wikipedia, calculations suggest that the car reached speeds up to 220 km/h (136.7 mph)
Theres at least a dozen red lights he flies through.
