why change History?
Whilst there has been a good job done in restoring picture and sound this release is very misleading and disapointing
Although the DVD mentions that it contains new material it does not state that the integrity of the original film has been altered!
The film has been cut by around 13 minutes and a newly shot sequence inserted towards the end as well as the original end changed which had a freeze frame of Jackie Stewart.
The newly shot material is off interest but why has it not been offered as aditional material. No excuse in these days of DVD and bluray. Other motoring films of similar vintage have been released and have not been messed about with, so why do this to this classic film!
There is a real danger here of interfearing with History! The film was made that way for all its merits and faults so why alter it.
I had been waiting for this film for a long time previously owning a rather rough 16mm print.

Really liked this
This film is a must for a fan of Formula One You get a really good idea of what F1 was like in the 70s Jackie Stewart is informative and a true professional with lots of charm He is definitely a driver modern drivers should emulate It all takes place at the Monaco Grand Prix and the weather is some of worst ever seen there This really highlights Jackie's skills He also watches a F2 race and points out the drivers mistakes which is fascinating The thing that amazed me is Jackie is the fastest of the drivers but he is so smooth he looks slower Really enjoyed this apart from Racing is in my blood about Ayrton Senna this is the best formula one documentary Would highly recommend this

GREAT BUT WHY THE CUTS ?
A tremendous film, with especially high quality picture and sound, I also like the occasional subtitles and the naming of drivers like Siffert and Rodriguez.
Two things however stop this being, for me, a '5 Star' DVD.
First, there are some cuts from the original. I wonder why, and who authorised them ? For example, the original contains more from the 'prize giving' scene, and two scenes in which Jackie's sex life in the days before a Grand Prix is discussed !!
Second, I was hoping for a more interesting contribution from Jackie and Polanski as they looked back at the times and the film, for example a full commentary would have been wonderful. Also, were there really no deleted scenes, especially featuring drivers like Graham Hill (always hilarious and interesting) and Francois Cevert talking ?
That said, this is still a great DVD, a must for GP history fans.

A trip down the 'real' F1 memory lane!
When the cars made a racket and the drivers balls were huge. We go back to Monaco in 1971 and film director Roman Polanski and F1 former and soon to become newly crowned champ Jackie Stewart embark in each others company as Stewart and his Tyrell/Ford team try to win the Grand Prix. Stewart shows Polanski around the circuit, gives an insight into his driving skills (in his pants) and generally hob nob together in his hotel room.
Sad to see so many faces who were to only see months/years left i.e. Siffert, Cevert, Hill etc. but the documentary really gives you a feel how much the sport has changed in the 40 years or so. The last 20 minutes are brought forward to near the current day and they reminisce and strangely briefly discuss Cevert and the ladies (as if Stewart knew nothing about Polanski's exploits). Recommended if your an F1 fan!

What an incredible way of life
I first saw this on TV some years ago punctured by the adverts and thought it had an incredible atmosphere of excitement on the race day, a film made by Roman Polanski of Jackie Stewart's incredible life as a racing driver, all the better without the constant interruption of adverts.

Takes you back doesn't it !
I'm not a film critic but I can say I really liked this one. It's sort of reminiscent of John Frankenheimer's "Grand Prix" but this is all true. Directed by Roman Polanski, it tells the tale of Jackie's Monaco Grand Prix weekend, the trials and worries and the man himself, ending with a charming and informal conversation between Stewart and Polanski, now in their old age, both amusing and touching at the same time. At 90 minutes I didn't want it to end.

Polanski and Stewart, what an unlikely couple ;)
I found out about the movie early this spring from CAR magazine and ever since kept sniffing it out. finally the release date came up and I decided to buy the dvd. I really did not know what to expect apart from the obvious talent of my fellow countryman Roman. the result is simply stunning. I do not regret a single minute I have spent watching it. recommend to everyone, you do not have to be an F1 fan. not at all...

One of the better racing films I've seen
I grew up as a fan of Formula One during the hey days of drivers like Jackie Stewart, Jim Clark, Bruce McLaren and many others too numerous to list. This film is a snapshot of the sport I love and provided me an opportunity to gain a little more insight into the world of Formula One as it was during the genesis of what was to become, for me, a lifetime love of all things racing. Jackie Stewart is a class act and I loved learning a little bit more about him and his personality.

Still one of the best racing films
This was the first time I have seen the movie again since it was originally released, and I was not disappointed. The film offers an amazing insight into the time when Grand Prix racing was at its peak; a time when drivers were gladiators, yet friends. Given the personalities involved in racing today, it would be unthinkable (probably impossible) to make something like this again ... Jackie Stewart was one of the greatest drivers of all time; possibly only surpassed in supreme skill by the great Jim Clark and the legendary Fangio - his smooth and meticulous driving style serves as an antithesis to the no-holds-barred Ayrton Senna. Jackie has been a life-long hero for me and continues to be an excellent role-model. All of this is clearly depicted in the film, beautifully unsophisticated and human. Highly recommended for any F1 racing fan of the 60's and 70's era.

Story about the champion of the individual achievement and of the car racing sport. Highly recommended.
Interesting inside into the world of formula 1 racing. Jackie Steward is such a nice guy, so it's always interesting to see and hear him talking about the cars, track and racing. Monaco race in those days was such a gamble I wouldn't know that. In retrospective Jackie tell a story of his battle for safer conditions for drivers who where dying on tracks in such big numbers

Time Capsule Dvd giving a very authentic view of F1 in the 70's,dangerous and different times.
Watch this film and be transported back to F1 in very different and dangerous era, you see Sir Jackie Stewart these days wandering round the F1 paddocks being a the great ex-champion that he is,but this film shows him as the best complete driver of his day, very aware of his own mortality and those around him.........Polanski captures the "taste and atmosphere" of that era very well indeed and Jackie Stewart shows himself to be not only a quick driver but a thinking and sensitive driver...great stuff.

Champion Jackie
The Monaco GP seen from the viewpoint of a great champion. Jackie is so open and you feel that even after all these years you are there with him.

A slip and a slap (on the back) for Stewart
I watched this movie in a cinema in 1972, and now own DVDs of this latest release and the previous uncut version. So at least I can watch the deleted scenes when I choose to.
I enjoyed JYS's chat with Roman Polanski - it's probably as long and comprehensive as it needs to be, given that Polanski is not a motor racing identity as such.
But Sir Jackie's memory made a slight off-track excursion when he stated that François Cevert won at Watkins Glen in 1972. Cevert's only GP win was indeed at Watkins Glen, but in 1971.
However, kudos go to JYS for the Quote of the DVD: "Racing drivers were amateur gynaecologists!"

Excellent viewing. Monaco has not changed much since 1971. Great to see some younger, but now older faces.
The rapport between himself and Graham Hill still makes me laugh.
True gentlemen.
I could listen to Sir Jackie's voice over and over and feel even more proud to be Scottish after hearing it. He is a true ambassador for sport and our country, never without the Tartan.
Well worth a buy.

A must for all F1 fans
A window into the world of one of the all time greats. A fantastic historical document showing how much racing has and hasn't changed since the 70s. Amazing filming and so crisp and clear. Great sound quality. Worth it just for the sound of the engine reverberating off the tunnel walls
