Unexpected IMP sighting in French film

["Quint Villanueva" <Qlv@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the heads up.  I always like to spot Imperials in films. Mine was
in Godfather I.

Subject: IML: Unexpected IMP sighting in French film


> Lastnight I went to a screening at the American Film Institute (AFI)
theatre to see a 1950's french film titled "Touchez Pas au Grisby" (or
"Don't Touch the Loot").  Stylized gangster caper film with otherwise
1940's-looking standard post WWII European vehicle fare.
>
> Towards the end of the film, the main character meets his very wealthy
lady-friend at a restaurant in (presumably) Paris.  Lo and behold she pulls
up in a white Imperial convertible! WOW - seemed to be either a 1952 or 1953
model - but I'm no expert on that era.
>
> The French seemed to like Mopars in their gangster flicks. In the
follow-on to this film "Bob le Flambeur" he drives a '56 Plymouth
convertible.
>
> This screening was the debut of a restored print, and is quite good
(albeit slow-moving by today's standards) on it's own (not just for the Imp
sighting) and it may go on tour.  So if you're near a repertory-type theatre
keep an eye out for it.
