<![CDATA[Ferrari through the streets of Paris]]>On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a
gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend,
a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart
of Paris early in the morning. The film was limited for technical reasons to
10 minutes; the course was from Porte Dauphine , through the Louvre, to the
Basilica of Sacre Coeur.

No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit.

The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly 140
MPH in some stretches. The footage reveals him running real red lights,
nearly hitting real pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up real one-way
streets.

Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was arrested.
He has never revealed the identity of the driver, and the film went
underground. If you haven't seen this before it is a classic, if you have
seen it I apologize, but it's still a classic. Turn on your sound and
enjoy.
