Though I was 12 years old, I remember very well when it was launched on the screens , I lived in Algiers at those times ... Good choice Weazel ...there are plenty of 50's/60's cars (mostly french) in this film
Weasel1984 ◊ 2007-10-07 20:38	Yes, very good movie, I know it from the book about cinematography's history 'Historia Filmu'. Some more background vehicles could be listed, but quality of this copy isn't excellent. Examples: BMW 2000, Mercedes : Very background Berliet PBR : : -- Last edit: 2007-10-07 22:43:03

And in Greece, there were lot of GB cars like Hillman, Vauxhall and so..... and none in the movie.
