If I remember well, the Renault 4 in the French movie "Banzai" was repaired with a similar technique, but I can't remember if it was with nylons or with a belt.

as a birthday surprise for someone working with gear-belts we are looking for movies with the following:
car breaks down in the middle of nowhere
=> man uses woman's nylons (or bra) to fix the gear belt.
There must be quite a few classic movies featuring this, I am sure, but I can't think of the names.
Thanks for any advice!
