Now available on Netflix download-- been available on their mail service since late last year.
Amazingly well done documentary by Roman Polanski. It follows Jackie Stewart around Monaco during a F1 weekend. It was screened in the early 70's then basically lost for 40 years. Polanski remixed it and the quality is great-- not like the stilted, limited camera racing coverage that is typical of the period.

Did you see the size of those harness straps!? Had to be only 1" wide, lol
I watched it on Netflix and really liked it, even the end with the two of them talking.
