One of my favorite lines from Grand Prix. Of course, virtually any of Françoise Hardy’s lines as Lisa are good. Why she’s wearing Pete Aron’s helmet in this shot though, I don’t know.

That’s my favorite line too. Lisa is such a wonderful character — so carefree and full of life. Without her, the movie would be pretty dull.
Well, it didn’t hurt that she was so very pretty.
She’s also had a huge 50-year career as a singer and songwriter, selling millions of records, right up to the present. Some early favorites: Ton Meilleur Ami, C’est a l’amour auquel j’pense, Bati Mon Nid, and many, many others. It was a lost opportunity when they didn’t interview her for the Grand Prix DVD reissue; it would have been interesting to get her retrospective on the whole thing.
