About This Movie

Casse-cou, mademoiselle! is a delightful blend of action and comedy that captures the thrill of the racing world through a light-hearted lens. The film follows Robert, who’s stuck in the pit crew but longs for the fast lane as a driver.

The pacing is lively, with practical effects that give a genuine feel of racing excitement. Performances are spirited, especially from the leads, who bring a nice chemistry to the screen. It’s a lesser-known gem that stands out for its whimsical take on ambition and romance wrapped in the automotive culture of the time.

Casse-cou, mademoiselle! has had a limited release history, making it somewhat of a rarity among collectors. Its scarcity is compounded by the fact that the director remains unknown, which adds an intriguing layer to its backstory. A few editions exist on VHS and DVD, but the film has yet to see a comprehensive remaster or re-release, leaving fans of vintage racing cinema on the lookout for any new formats or screenings.
