Summary: One early August morning of 1976, when most of Paris were either on vacation or asleep, Claude Lelouch, a director mostly known for his melodramatic films, strapped a camera to the front of his car and had it raced from one end of Paris to another. Rumors still persist today regarding the details behind the filming, but invng through several different sources, all the facts and rumors can be summarized into this likely scenario. The spark started after Lelouch had wrapped up his latest cinematic production, which left him with some time before he had to return a camera with a gyro stabilized mount. Lelouch allegedly had just purchased a Ferrari 275 GTB, and came up with the idea to race the car through the streets of Paris in the early hours of the typical vacation month, with the camera mounted to the hood or bumper to document the stunt. Lelouch chose the route based the length of film the camera can hold, and was most likely doing the driving himself, as no Formula 1 driver would commit so many driving errors. The resultant film is simply a document of that daring and irresponsible deed.
