Grand Prix film on TCM and Speedvision

Users shared TV listings for Frankenheimer's Grand Prix on Turner Classic Movies in the UK and Speedvision in the US. UK viewers later found that regional TCM feeds showed a different film.

This film definitely works only in it's widescreen-version. Does anyone know if it's available on DVD ?

Get your videos ready because the classic film Grand Prix is being shown on the Turner Classic Movie channel at 10:30pm on 26th November. TCM is available on NTL Cable and Sky Digital (I believe). Last time it was shown they showed the widescreen version which is superior to the version shown on ITV a few months ago.

I just checked, and for anybody too tight to pay into Murdochs wallet (thats me), the channel is the same as Cartoon Network, so its a free to view channel on Sky Analogue. Made a note on the calander cos I only saw the last 45mins when it was on a couple of months ago. Just to check on the time, it is 10:30 UK isn't it? Cheers Mark.

Just to let our American viewers know "Grand Prix" will be on Speedvision. 11/23/00 12:00pm. Last time it was on, it was letterboxed. Set your VCRs. Chris G.

Not yet ? Do that mean it will be released, or that you hope it will :) A DVD release with remixed 5.1 sound would really please my subwoofer :) -- Olav K. Malmin remove .spam when replying

Thanks Goy, but ordering from the UK means that I have to pay the brilliant Norwegian post for letting them add tax to it :( -- Olav K. Malmin remove .spam when replying

It was the letterbox version with a lot of interview stuf before/after with Bruce Dern interviewing James Garner & John Frankenheimer. If you missed it (I missed the first hour..) itll be on again this Saturday at 11:00 Eastern according to Speedvisions website..
