One By One

The documentary is about the Formula 1 drivers of the seventies. The camera follows the 1973 season. The film began with a different idea. Jackie Stewart was about to retire. François Cévert was to take his place. The documentary was going to be about that handover. The season ended otherwise. Cévert died in qualifying at Watkins Glen. After that the film became something else. Its subject was now the racing itself. In those years death was part of the track. The documentary shows that without hiding it. Niki Lauda and Mike Hailwood are in the film too. Stacy Keach narrates. The eighty six minute film is an American production Claude du Boc finished in 1975.
