The dramatic portion of this film is non consequential but the racing footage is very nice. One of the first and ground breaking aerial helicopter footage films along with the POV, in the Formula 1 racing cars cameras, that were remote controlled. First use of wireless video viewfinders on the cameras. Really must be seen on a big CINERAMA screen! They had to give out barf bags! Ray Hughes

  makes todays standard theater experience seem like a ghetto blaster and 19 inch TV. Or if you live in a rural area, then you're lucky to see it projected with a worn out projector head on a bed sheet. Ray

My Mom and I went to see this in Cinerama, way back when. She got sick and went out to the lobby for a while. This flick began my love w/ F1.
