[TR] TR3 Movie Sighting

[P Caffrey]

I believe the Corvette was in full swing at this time in the 60s....Interesting that Brit cars were considered the ideal, as they should be....There is an undeniable image of elan (just learned the last word) and power about them.....Good man, Bill, for sitting through the movie to pass on the really important stuff about the cars...no kidding!

     My wife made me watch a romantic comedy on her birthday. It was "A
Guide for the Married Man" with Walter Matthau. I put a smile on my face
and an arm around my wife for this corny 60's movie. Anyway, at the
beginning of the movie there is an aerial shot of a blue TR3 with hood up going
through the intersection. Later, it show a guy cheating on his wife and using an
MG TF as his car. Another scene had a Morris Minor convertible and yet another
had a red Sunbeam Alpine in the background. The movie was about male mid-life
crisis. I was contemplating whether the Brit cars were included in the movie
because they represent male freedom or whether the movie was just filmed in
SoCal where there just happened to be a lot of LBC's in the background.
