SPYBRARY WITH BRADFORD

Spy Vibers, go check out our sister site, Double O Section, run by my fellow COBRAS agent Matthew Bradford. Matt was just a guest on episode 006 of the Spybrary podcast, where he chatted with host Shane Whaley about John le Carre's debut novel Call For the Dead (also the debut of character George Smiley!) and its film adaptation, The Deadly Affair. Matt has a great memory for details and is always insightful. Highly recommended! Audio is the new frontier for both of us. You can now hear my new radio segments with Cocktail Nation: Episode #1 (Danger Man) and Episode #2 (The 10th Victim), Epsiode #3 (On Her Majesty's Secret Service). Happy listening!

RACING SALE ACTIVE!

As Spy Vibe reported last week, Spirit Level Films has put together an amazing bundle of documentary movies for a very special holiday sale. The GT Collector's Pack includes the cult fave, Rendezvous, by Claude Lelouch, The Snake and the Cobra (about the Ferrari/Cobra wars. Spy Vibe page), GT Racer seasons 1 & 2, and Shaken & Stirred (“Imagine the feel and style of John Frankenheimer’s 1966 Grand Prix with wa-a-ay more beautiful cars and you're halfway there. Aston Martins, Cobras, Maseratis"). These films often put you in the driver's seat of vintage cars, and they go behind the scenes to celebrate the history and culture of racing form and function. The GT pack is on sale until November 21st. Limited stock, so act fast if your a vintage racing fan. More info on the Spirit Level Films website here.

FERRARI COBRA WARS

As reported yesterday, Spirit Level Films is about to launch a limited sale on a bundle of their best documentary movies about vintage racing. If you love the cars and driving action of retro James Bond films, you're bound to love these movies about classic auto design and performance. In addition to the thrilling ride in a Ferrari with Claude Lelouche in Rendezvous (see last post), the set also includes The Snake and the Stallion about the famous Ferrari-Cobra wars. Cinema Retro fans might recognize a split-screen production style reminiscent of The Thomas Crown Affair with actor/racer Steve McQueen. Here's a brief trailer.

START YOUR ENGINES!

If names like Ferrari and Cobra ignite your imaginations with the exciting sites and sounds of vintage racing, then have we got news for you! Spirit Level Films is about to launch a special sale on a bundle of their racing documentary films. Stay tuned and get ready to start your engines! In the meantime, enjoy this fantastic cult fave by Claude Lelouch (A Man and a Woman). From Spirit Level: You'd be hard-pressed to find a film as steeped in myth as C’était un Rendezvous. Absolutely compulsive - this astonishing, exhilarating and now legendary drive through a beautiful 70s Paris with its surprise ending has been enjoyed for many years as an almost Masonic secret among enthusiasts. Whisper the words "Have you seen Rendezvous?" and you'll receive either a knowing, "No, but I've heard it's unbelievable" or a smug, "It is un-be-lieve-able". Filmed in 1976, the revered short film by seminal French director Claude Lelouch is regarded as the ultimate in chase scenes - the connoisseurs' trump card in response to "Bullitt" or "The French Connection".
