Great racing scenes filmed in California, and Astaire committing suicide in 
my idea of the appropriate way to bring a desired end to one's life.
Also remember that the Gregory Peck's love interest in Oz drives a 100-six 
without the heater option. In one scene they arrive at a country inn in pouring 
rain, with the side curtains and top on. In the penultimate scene, she is 
standing next to the car with the top stowed, while she watches the submarine head 
under the bridge (was this Sydney? I can't remember) and out to sea. If you 
freeze frame and zoom in, you can see that where there would normally be a 
heater control panel, there's just an Austin-Healey trim panel. (This is what 
concours guys do when their wife is reaching for the second Kleenex box.
Cheers
