It was a pretty iconic film, a very good film. Controversial, even in France when it came out in 1974, libertarian, politically incorrect (understatement) and originally banned in UK.
It was eventually on Channel 4 here in the 1990s and I recorded it – on videotape in those days and now transferred to DVD. This posting on Talk Morgan has reminded me to watch it again.
The film, one of Gerard Diepardieu’s most notable, also featured Patrick Dewaere as his travelling partner in crime and Miou-Miou as their shared plaything.
The Morgan doesn’t do much more than provide a place for a short session of the favourite recreation of the two car-stealing and woman-using young bloods that the film is about, and then break down. So they stole a bigger car. I don’t think the back seat of the Morgan would have suited them for long anyway
The mirrors on the car are bonnet mounted, a bit forward of the usual place, so that might point to its age.
