Yesterday evening I ventured a couple of junctions down the M3 to exotic Basingstoke for my nearest showing of SM:TM&LM.
I have seen the 'Le Mans' film several times but only ever on a tv screen so it was worth the journey just to see some of the original footage on The Big Screen.
Overall I enjoyed the film, but felt they could have spent a little more time at the start trying to explain the fascination of the LM24.
I was also expecting the documentary to contain more scenes from the original film, such as the iconic 'heart beat' start sequence, but I guess there were sensible legal/financial reasons not to do so.
In conclusion, I'll definitely watch it again when it is shown on tv but probably won't buy the DVD unless there are a load of interesting extras.
