Another movie w/great cars is an Elvis Presley movie about some race he
has to win, but I don't remember the name (Not a Presley fan). Ferraris
wipin out - I think maybe it was a "Red Head" a/k/a Testa Rossa, some
E-Types, maybe a Maserati Bird Cage and some other cars I can't
remember, but great to see all these "now" priceless cars bein' wiped
out back when they were just considered "used" cars.

Subject: Thomas Crown Affair (no Datsun content)
Paul,
Funny you should mention the Thomas Crown Affair. I just watched
the
Steve McQueen version followed by the Pierce Brosnan reissue. And I
really
did like Rene Russo's evening "dress" too. However, IMHO, the new one
lacked
in three areas: No Faye Dunaway sitting on the back of a red Ferrari
275
GTS. (How could a guy say no to that?!) No Steve McQueen tearin' up
the
dunes. (Brosnan gave that scene a nod by driving a Shelby Mustang down a
dirt
road at 10mph to his beach house that he didn't build himself as
McQueen's
character did.) And no chess match. (I never realized chess could be
so
sexy.)
Check it out.
