Re: French cars in films
Funny/peculiar that this has come up - I have just sat through the most boring film in the history of both boredom and films, and here was the most gorgeous marron/brown DS swerving in the streets of Paris. Only brief, but that was enough pour moi!
The film, to be avoided, was, 'la femme infidele'. Late 60's early 70's perhaps. Awful. What a looker of a car.

Re: French cars in films
Watched and really enjoyed the TinTin film last night, the animation spookily realistic
Excellent film, enjoyed muchly...
There were a few Citroens in that, a couple of 'Utes and a couple of Tractions...
Herge (TinTin auhour) was always very careful in his drawings to portray real places and things. This came across in the film.

Re: French cars in films
No idea to be honest. Saw the DVD on sale in Tesco last week and being a lifelong fan of TinTin (read all the books as a kid) I grabbed it. Siany and I watched it last night and really loved it.Napoleon wrote: is this a new film, Jim?
It's a Steven Speilberg film and is called TinTin and the Secret of the Unicorn. It follows the book pretty closely and the life-like animation is absolutely breathtaking...

Watched in tonight, IRL, and it was great fun for all the family, Jim. Incredibly lifelike, very well done.
Very much enjoyed the car/van/wagon sequences. Not a dog lover meself, but Snowy came across as definitely appealing.
Cheers...
