    The Movie "Grand Prix"

    I learned something new while watching "Grand Prix" on TCM last night. James Garner was the 3rd choice for the lead role, behind Steve McQueen and Robert Redford.

    Was this another bit of Robert Osborne movie trivia?

    Mr. Osborne did mention that this was before Redford was well known.

    Had to stay up late

    Following Gran Prix they showed The Green Helmet, and Clark Gable and Barbara Stanwyk in A Favor for a Lady (think that was the title), all good racing movies.
    All rides are bought. But occasionally the currency is talent.

    McQueen I could definitely see in that role. Redford, not so much.
