    On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted
    a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a
    friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed
    through the heart of Paris. The film was limited for technical reasons
    to 10 minutes; the course was from Porte Dauphine, through the Louvre,
    to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur.

    No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit.

    The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly
    140 MPH in some stretches. The footage reveals him running real red
    lights, nearly hitting real pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up
    real one-way streets.

    Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was
    arrested. He has never revealed the identity of the driver, and the
    film went underground until a DVD release a few years ago.
