A guaranteed original and framed 8x10 candid movie still from 1971 for Lee H. Katzin's car racing thriller "Le Mans", also released as "The 24 Hours of Le Mans".

Featuring footage captured during the real-life 1970 race, Le Mans tells the fictional story of Porsche racing driver Michael Delaney (Steve McQueen). With death and danger seemingly all around, should he quit or go for a Porsche win at Le Mans?

The addictive nature of racing portrayed in the film mirrors life. McQueen was obsessed with creating a true racing film and its production took a significant toll on him and those around him. A 2015 documentary, Steve McQueen : The Man and Le Mans, tells this incredible story.

This superb candid movie still, showing McQueen explaining a scene to racing drivers Michael Parkes, Gerard Larrousse, Masten Gregory and Dieter Spoerry, would have been snapped by a Unit Still Photographer during production and then used for promotion during the film's release. 

It is in wonderful condition and has been framed by us in a black ayous wood frame with an iced white mount, protective barrier board and crystal clear Perspex glazing. As our photos show, it will look amazing on display!

The rear of the still includes an 'Explanation Time' snipe. We will include an image of this for the future owner's records.

By the way, Steve McQueen considered becoming a professional racing driver. In 1961 he drove a Mini at a British Touring Car race at Brands Hatch, finishing third!

We only sell guaranteed original movie posters. We do not sell reproductions.
