And Colossally That’s History returns to bring you the story of what many would describe as Hollywood’s first big foray into the world of Formula 1 with the movie Grand Prix.
Long-time industry professional Matt Bishop and author Richard Williams dig into the 1966 movie, which has received mixed reviews over the years - including for its soap-opera-style storylines - but has also developed cult status, particularly for its extensive use of real, raw footage.
How Enzo Ferrari was persuaded to allow his cars in the movie, Graham Hill’s acting skills, Hollywood star James Garner’s chances of being an actual racing driver and the innovative recording/filming techniques in use are all explained in this episode.
And Colossally That’s History is your go-to podcast for diving into the biggest stories in motor racing history. This episode is the third in season two - catch up on all episodes wherever you get your podcasts.
