Take a gander: C'était un Rendez-Vous - 1976 French Film
Director/driver: Claude Lelouch
Run Time: 9 min
Translates into "It Was an Appointment." It is one the most classic/controversial short films. Its a fast pace film seen through the eyes of the driver, cruising through Paris streets at 140mph with his 275GTB Ferrari early in the morning.
Trivia:- The car that was used in the filming was a Mercedes-Benz 450SEL and the sound of 275GTB Ferrari was dubbed.
- Some independent groups calculated the car never exceeded 85mph, which the director denies.
- Lelouch was arrested shortly after the film was screened but was later released without charge.
- Three people were in the car, with Claude Lelouch at the wheel

We are looking to recruit a motivated team of runners who are extremely physically fit both in terms of running at speed and endurance to be part of Martin Creed's Work No. 850 which opened at Tate Britain on 1 July 2008.
Work No. 850 centres on a simple idea: that a person will run as fast as they can every thirty seconds through the gallery. Each run is followed by an equivalent pause, like a musical rest, during which the grand Neoclassical gallery is empty.
You will be expected to sprint for a distance of approximately 86 metres through the gallery. You must be able to complete the 86 metre sprint in less than 15 seconds. At the end of the sprint you will walk back to the start point and repeat the sprint approximately every 2 minutes (ie around 15 sprints) during a ½ hour period maintaining a consistent speed for each sprint.
For our core team of runners we are looking for a minimum commitment of 4 x ½ hours sessions per day with rest breaks in between. We need you to be able to commit to at least 3 days a week (could include weekends) until 16 November 2008.


86 meter sprint every 2 minutes for half an hour, four times through. That's an INSANE lactic acid workout. Bring buckets and mops.
Rachel,
I'm wondering where you got the information that the Paris film was shot using a Mercedes SL?
I've always understood it was a Ferrari, and it is presented that way at the Peterson Auto Museum in LA.
