Editorial Reviews

Steve McQueen is ideally cast as a champion race car driver, participating in the famed 24-hour race headquartered in Le Mans, France. Though dedicated to Going for the Gold, McQueen finds time to romance widowed Elga Andersen. The dramatic angle to this plot wrinkle is that McQueen may well have been responsible for the death of Andersen's husband during a previous car pile-up. Director John Sturges, who'd previously helmed Steve McQueen's legendary motorcycle chase scenes in The Great Escape, was originally slated to direct Le Mans, but withdrew from the project; it was then taken over by Lee H. Katzin of The Phynx. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

March 20, 2009: A Must for Steve McQueen fan!Puts you in the drivers seat.Actual locations used in the filming.Was there in the 60's and walked the actual cobble-stone street made of bricks.

There were no actual speed limits on the Autobon.

Speed was KM not MPH.The signs and roadways ways are totaly different.

August 11, 2004: Le Mans is an all McQueen movie.Made after Grand Prix, the camera angles are not as well filmed as Frankenheimer's on-board cameras, but Lee Katzin's direction, after McQueen's friend John Sturges left over a plot direction dispute, shows off McQueen's racing skills to the max. Filmed in 1970 on the track..there is plenty of wrecks and racing, much as a docu-drama. The high point of Le Mans is the cinematography..the low is the script..or lack of one, thus no emotion or passion for the sport is felt in any way. What could have been a great racing film, was panned by critics, Steve's Solar Productions went bankrupt, his marriage was disolved...and his 'dream' movie about racing lay dead on the track.
