The film was one of the "Cinerama" films shot in 70mm. The great elements of the film is that it opens on the streets of Monte Carlo and really conveys what a tough circuit it is, on the driver and the machines. Then it covers circuits that are just part of history, like Spa, Zandervoot, and the bankings of Monza. Finally, the cameo appearances of Hill, Surtees, Rindt, Clark, Brabham, Bonner and Gurney are reminders of the age of great drivers.
