This article was read by Kenneth Harper, a British film producer, who rang me up and offered me 'THE VIRGIN & THE GYPSY', so it always pays to keep on trying!

Translation extract from Raymond Lansoy's review in PARIS/Montmartre magazine March 2003

'I finish with 'The Slow Race' a jewel by Mr Miles
..directed in1967 by Christopher Miles in English with the writer Pierre Jacob and the ravishing Vanessa Miles in a Renault Torpedo we see the real Montmartre…....a combination of English humour and poetic Montmartre drollery…shot with two cameras with tight editing in colours so true and soft - everyone seems to be having fun… so this time we can really shout about an époque when people really had talent - Vive les Anglais, vive Christopher and Vanessa Miles and VIVE Pierre Jacob and Josia St Clair and VIVE MONTMARTRE!
