Summary
In the film "The Things of Life", an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint plays a leading and fateful role alongside Michel Piccoli and Romy Schneider. And it is no coincidence that this particular car was chosen for the architect Pierre Bérard. The surprise novelty of the 1954 Turin Motor Show is still popular today. This article tells the story of the elegant coupé and shows it in current and historical pictures as well as in the sales literature.
This article contains the following chapters
- Surprising ideas in 1954
- Test drives at the Turin Motor Show
- Reworking before the start of series production
- More and more
- Enthusiastic test drivers
- From the Giulietta to the Giulia
- Always stay on the road

Preview (beginning of the article)
Only rarely has a car played a major role in a movie that is not actually about cars. In the 1970 film "Le Choses de la Vie" ("The Things of Life") by director Claude Sautet, however, a silver-colored Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint from the 1950s almost dominates the story, were it not for Michel Piccoli and Romy Schneider. The film centers on a serious accident in which architect Pierre Bérard loses control of his Alfa Romeo coupé, overturns, is seriously injured and then sees his life flash before his eyes in the waking moments that follow. The filmmakers procured ten Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Coupé cars for the accident and film scenes, but only five of them are said to have been destroyed for the elaborately produced accident scene.
