I worked with a guy in the 60's who had owned a Renault dealership in Algeria and lost everything when de Gaulle gave Algeria its independence. He hated him with a passion as did a lot of French from Algeria. Ironically 30 years later I was living in Paris and was invited to an award ceremony for resistance fighters and was shocked when I saw de Gaulle in the group, even though he died in 1970. Turns out it was his son who was an admiral in the French navy and was a spitting image of his father.

French tea plantations in Algeria got the "tule" fog for moisture much like the San J. valley in Calif. BUT when Algeria got it's "independence" the "pied noir" French who owned the farms were marched down to barges at gun point with little but the clothes on their backs. One family I knew in Canada: she now works for the UN, but her parents never had nice things again. Her sister visited the plantation and there were Muslim families living the the shade of the walls left, but GONE was the running water, electricity, all the infrastructure. It 's a lot easier to destroy than to BUILD. No wonder Algerian Frenchmen were so pissed. Most kept some money in France, Spain, or Italy so most didn't lose everything, but.......

Large number of French ministers leave a building, then the boss leaves the building with his bodyguards in the second car. Spotter on a scooter spots, then phones the shooters about what route they are using, Gunmen and road blockers fail to stop or kill DeGaulle (Boss), then unconnected man in sports car is the killer hired to kill DeGaulle. Police pursue him as he changes identities, up until he stands by in a rooftop apartment over looking where DeGaulle will present medals to members of the resistance of WWII. The film was shot around 1973 and includes a lot of real footage of the preparation for and real parade and presentations of that year. A style that the director used earlier in his film 'Grand Prix', which used real races as the backdrop to a fictional story about Grand Prix racers and teams. It's like actors standing in front of a real rocket launch at Cape Canaveral.

@Frank Fisher That is correct. It is a well known event amongst classic Citroen enthusiasts. Both tires on the same side were shot out. Any other "normal" car would have lost directional control, but not the DS. The DS has a unique suspention and steering geometry, with zero camber and zero castor. Unlike any other car ever built, it is completely unefected by pot holes or road surface condition. The car will not swerve to one side, nor will the driver loose control even if the front tire is flat. kzread.info/dash/bejne/gWt1y8yol6vagsY.html When De'Gaulle's car was hit, the driver never lost control and actually accelarated to get away. Since that event, De'Gaulle refused to ride in any other car but a Citroen DS.

It's all quick cut gun fights, with impossible odds, and a seemingly indestructible hero. One example is Roger Corman and his movie "The St. Valentines Day Massacre". It was Corman's first A-list big budget movie. And it's a great movie! But Corman later stated that studio execs interfered so much while the movie was being made, it almost drove Corman insane. As a result, he never made another big budget movie again.

The first clip is the beginning of the movie, hence the opening title and credits, but then there are clips from later in the film involving cars. But there are no car chases as such in the film. The first clip is a re-creation of a real event, the nearly successful assassination attempt on President de Gaulle. The film shows the assassins' lookout seeing de Gaulle leave the Élysée for the airport, notifying the assassins waiting in the suburb of Petit Clamart then getting on his motor scooter and following. This is intercut with shots of de Gaulle's car. But the clip doesn't show the whole scene from the film. Showing this real event at the beginning of the film sets up the fictional story that is the the main theme, a supposed plan by the OAS ("Secret Army Organisation"} to employ an unknown lone assassin to kill de Gaulle. De Gaulle had been brought out of retirement to avert a coup by members of the French armed forces who were opposed to giving Algeria independence. The military believed that de Gaulle would end the independence talks and crack down on the Algerian independence movement, and he let them believe this when in fact he had his own agenda, that of restoring France's greatness by introducing a new constitution, the one that is still in force today, that would give a stronger government while still being democratic. Although he was somewhat sympathetic to the French rule in Algeria, he realised that the issue would get in the way of restoring French influence in the modern world and he restored the independence talks. Members of the military were outraged by what they saw as his duplicity and began a campaign of terrorism and attempts to assassinate the president.

I worked with a guy in the 60's who had owned a Renault dealership in Algeria and lost everything when de Gaulle gave Algeria its independence. He hated him with a passion as did a lot of French from Algeria. Ironically 30 years later I was living in Paris and was invited to an award ceremony for resistance fighters and was shocked when I saw de Gaulle in the group, even though he died in 1970. Turns out it was his son who was an admiral in the French navy and was a spitting image of his father.

French tea plantations in Algeria got the "tule" fog for moisture much like the San J. valley in Calif. BUT when Algeria got it's "independence" the "pied noir" French who owned the farms were marched down to barges at gun point with little but the clothes on their backs. One family I knew in Canada: she now works for the UN, but her parents never had nice things again. Her sister visited the plantation and there were Muslim families living the the shade of the walls left, but GONE was the running water, electricity, all the infrastructure. It 's a lot easier to destroy than to BUILD. No wonder Algerian Frenchmen were so pissed. Most kept some money in France, Spain, or Italy so most didn't lose everything, but.......

Spotter on a scooter spots, then phones the shooters about what route they are using, Gunmen and road blockers fail to stop or kill DeGaulle (Boss), then unconnected man in sports car is the killer hired to kill DeGaulle. Police pursue him as he changes identities, up until he stands by in a rooftop apartment over looking where DeGaulle will present medals to members of the resistance of WWII. The film was shot around 1973 and includes a lot of real footage of the preparation for and real parade and presentations of that year. A style that the director used earlier in his film 'Grand Prix', which used real races as the backdrop to a fictional story about Grand Prix racers and teams.

Unlike any other car ever built, it is completely unefected by pot holes or road surface condition. The car will not swerve to one side, nor will the driver loose control even if the front tire is flat. kzread.info/dash/bejne/gWt1y8yol6vagsY.html When De'Gaulle's car was hit, the driver never lost control and actually accelarated to get away.

His real name was georges watin. A member of the oas. He died in south america in 1994. The only guy the police never could catch. He was tall and llmping so all the others, thought he would be caught first but he could escape. All the others got arrested. Some sentenced to death. Only the chief lieutenant colonel bastien thiry got executed by firing squad on 11 march 1963. A great man of honor.

This was based on a real live incident, after which de gaulle would only use citroens.
What is sad is that a movie like this couldn't be made now. The slow methodical pacing, thanks to studio execs who want a quick buck, is dead. It's all quick cut gun fights, with impossible odds, and a seemingly indestructible hero. One example is Roger Corman and his movie "The St. Valentines Day Massacre". It was Corman's first A-list big budget movie. And it's a great movie! But Corman later stated that studio execs interfered so much while the movie was being made, it almost drove Corman insane. As a result, he never made another big budget movie again.

It’s a montage of all the car scenes in the film.
Great movie, but aside from the main character in the white Alfa, this clip is just a bunch of random cars driving around. With a random shooting in the middle and random cops(?) jumping out of cars in different places. And a car crash. If we had seen the beginning of the movie, would we know what was going on?

The first clip is the beginning of the movie, hence the opening title and credits, but then there are clips from later in the film involving cars. But there are no car chases as such in the film. The first clip is a re-creation of a real event, the nearly successful assassination attempt on President de Gaulle. The film shows the assassins' lookout seeing de Gaulle leave the Élysée for the airport, notifying the assassins waiting in the suburb of Petit Clamart then getting on his motor scooter and following. This is intercut with shots of de Gaulle's car. But the clip doesn't show the whole scene from the film. Showing this real event at the beginning of the film sets up the fictional story that is the the main theme, a supposed plan by the OAS ("Secret Army Organisation"} to employ an unknown lone assassin to kill de Gaulle. De Gaulle had been brought out of retirement to avert a coup by members of the French armed forces who were opposed to giving Algeria independence. The military believed that de Gaulle would end the independence talks and crack down on the Algerian independence movement, and he let them believe this when in fact he had his own agenda, that of restoring France's greatness by introducing a new constitution, the one that is still in force today, that would give a stronger government while still being democratic. Although he was somewhat sympathetic to the French rule in Algeria, he realised that the issue would get in the way of restoring French influence in the modern world and he restored the independence talks. Members of the military were outraged by what they saw as his duplicity and began a campaign of terrorism and attempts to assassinate the president.
Hmmm.... five minutes of watching a car being driven down roads. Man oh man, the suspense is killing me.

Well if you don't like cars there wasn't much in it for you.
I think that haze we're looking at is SMOG.
The movie is good, but what is this video for?
The Citroen Safari is the star.
