Le Mans

US: National General Pictures, 1971. Vintage oversize borderless reference photograph of director Lee H. Katzin and actors Steve McQueen and Elga Andersen on the set of the 1971 film. With manuscript ink annotations on the verso.

McQueen stars as a racing driver competing in Le Mans one year after an accident killed a fellow racer, one which both the racer's widow and others feel McQueen is partially responsible for. A passion project for McQueen, originally developed with director John Sturges, who left the project after the sale of Warner Brothers to Kinney National Services forced them to move to National General Pictures.

Filmed on location in Le Mans, France, including during the running of the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans race.

11.5 x 9 inches. Very Good plus, with light wear to the top and bottom edges.
