During the filming of "The Racers" in Monaco, 1954, director Henry Hathaway (in hat) confers with stunt driver John Fitch. Fitch, who performed the driving for Kirk Douglas, sits in the cockpit of the HWM Alta, number 10, as famed racing driver Louis Chiron observes from the left. This particular car, formerly driven by Stirling Moss, was later sold by MGM after filming and transformed into the Stovebolt Special. The scene unfolds in a bustling paddock, with the characteristic hillside villas of the principality visible in the background.
