In \u201cBehind Le Mans,\u201d Michael Keyser has assembled a fascinating behind the scenes look at the making of this film utilizing photographs taken on the set by renown photographer Nigel Snowdon, as well as those taken by cast members such as Derek Bell and Jonathan Williams.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Each of the 200-pages features a single 10\u201d x 7.5\u201d black and white image richly reproduced on glossy paper. The reproduction quality is fantastic, but even more interesting is the behind the scenes images of McQueen and a veritable Who\u2019s Who of 1970s racers who were used as stunt drivers and extras in the film, drivers such as Dickie Attwood, Jo Siffert, Derek Bell, Masten Gregory and David Piper, who sadly lost part of a leg during a crash while filming. With images depicting how the pioneering in-car camera shots were achieved, or how the many crash sequences were staged, this book provides a unique glimpse into a film that has morphed over the decades from Hollywood flash to racing history.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Available for US$49.95 (plus s&amp;h) from Autosports Marketing at:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.autosportsltd.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.autosportsltd.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/PR201202-p1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-546319\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/PR201202-p1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"880\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/PR201202-p1.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/PR201202-p1-300x244.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/PR201202-p1-1024x834.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/PR201202-p1-100x81.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/PR201202-p1-770x627.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/PR201202-p1-293x239.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Behind Le Mans, The Film in Photographs By Michael Keyser Arguably one of the most influential racing feature films of all-time, Steve McQueen\u2019s Le Mans did not enjoy critical or financial success when released in the early \u201970s, but it has gone on to become a cult classic for racing fans ever since.
