Brilliant film !
It's on TV on Monday afternoon - CH 4 : 1.30pm (videoplus 34098 )
A 1960's cold war spy thriller starring George Segal as the main character , along with Max Von Sydow and Alec Guinness , all set in Berlin of the early 1960s
What will make it of interest to members here is that the whole film is a feast of 1950s and 1960s Mercedes-Benz and other contemporary cars .
The 'hero' starts off driving a Porsche 356 , but after something happens to it , he drops into the local branch of Avis and they give him ..... a 190SL !!!!! (If only that happenned nowadays it would be the world's top tourist spot !)
The 'baddies' are running about in Adenauers and Ponton Cabriolets , plus all the cars in the background are a line up of the complete M-B range of the time (Fintails included)
The Mercedes-Benz building in Kurfurstendamm with the famous large rotating star on the roof features prominently throughout the movie .
One not to be missed ; I'll be recording it .
