McQueen was heavily influenced by that film, both for how much James Garner brought to the table as another Hollywood star and racing fan, and because it convinced him that a successful racing film had to use real footage at authentic speeds.

the sad biker ◊ 2020-07-27 10:45	chicomarx wrote Garner who was born James Bumgarner and wisely changed his name. I've heard of a Randy Bumgardner whose parents had a cruel sense of humour.
