Book Reviews of A French Kiss with Death: Steve McQueen and the Making of Le Mans
Book Review: A fantastic look into the world of movie making!
Summary: 4 Stars
First of all, this book is a great and easy read. I read it within one week. The photos are fantastic. The stories about Steve are wonderful. In saying that, the book is not just about the making of the movie. That's only part of the story. This book gives you a brief history of the following: movies about racing; a small history of the Le Mans race itself; a history of the teams involved in the film - Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Lola, Matra, and Porsche; followed by a brief history of the Daytona and Sebring races (featuring Steve); and finally it all comes together in the making of the movie. The personal anecdotes of the drivers involved are quite interesting. For lovers of the movie, the race, and the man himself, this book won't let you down. The photos themselves are worth the purchase price. Plus, this book will look great on your coffee table!
