Product Description
From Steve McQueen's Mustang in "Bullitt" to 007's Aston Martins, and the veteran Darracq in "Genevieve" to the daredevil Mini Coopers in "The Italian Job," cars are the stars just as much as their human occupants in a number of films. This book reviews the good, the bad, and the ugly in car movies from both sides of the Atlantic. It's a feast of nostalgia for film buffs and motoring enthusiasts alike.

 No get up and go... October 22, 2003
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I'm an avid collector of "Star Cars" movies, so naturally I was interested in this book. It came up short. First it concentrates on British film, which is fine if that's what interests you. Some of the truly great American car movies- "The Great Race", "Christine", "The Car", etc get maybe a small paragraph and a photo. Nothing really new or in depth here. As a completist, I'm glad I got it. But if you're really looking for a good book on Cars in the Movies, pass on this one. I'm hoping the other car book I ordered is better.

What a magnificent book - it is surely the finest book on its subject in the history of automotive and cinematic journalism and anyone who disagrees is quite possibly a whinging nit with a "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" obsession. Both of the authors are probably MENSA members too.
