"On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch
mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB
and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck
speed through the heart of Paris. The film was limited for technical
reasons to 10 minutes; the course was from Porte Dauphine, through
the Louvre, to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur. No streets were closed,
for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit. The driver completed the
course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly 140 MPH in some stretches.
The footage reveals him running real red lights, nearly hitting real
pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up real one-way streets. Upon
showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was arrested.
He has never revealed the identity of the driver, and the film went
underground until a DVD release a few years ago."
