DESCRIPTION
This important new series, narrated by Sir Stirling Moss, recalls the real personalities of an amazing era, the men whose antics on and off the track made them heroes to millions – and not always just to race fans.
Created by Brunswick Films, which was behind the 1970-79 Grand Prix Collection, each DVD profiles a racing great, with action footage and period interviews from the Brunswick archive which reveal why these names still cause excitement today. They are not detailed life stories, but celebrations of the driving skills and colourful characters which defined a motor racing era.
This DVD focuses on Peter Revson.
Only a handful of American drivers have made a mark in Formula One, and among them Peter Revson stands out. A cool, stylish figure, and fiercely independent, he was totally committed to the quest for Grand Prix glory.With in depth interviews and archive footage the DVD covers the all-too brief career of a talented driver who proved himself with two Grand Prix victories.

A superb profile of an exciting and charismatic champion.
Additional features: exploring all ten of Hunt’s memorable F1 wins plus a close-up look at an ex-Hunt M26 make up the DVD extras. Also includes a four page booklet detailing career highlights.

ABOUT BRUNSWICK FILMS
Brunswick Films were pioneers in the embryonic days of Formula One production, when sponsors controlled the demand for footage, and before the era of global TV coverage began. They have skilfully combined film from their famous archive - including some previously unseen material - to create a review that captures the essence of a very special era in Grand Prix racing.
Brunswick Films was founded in the late 60s by director/cameraman John Tully to provide coverage of the Formula One Grand Prix circuit. From his vibrant film footage of this seminal era through to the 1990s, the Brunswick Films Formula One Film and Video Archive has been compiled. It is one of the most comprehensive collections of the 1970s Formula One material available.
The library features eleven years of the most exciting period in Formula One history, from the great Tyrrell vs. Lotus battles of the early years including two Jackie Stewart championships, Niki Lauda's fiery exit on the Nordschleife in 1976 and James Hunt's title of the same year, the Tyrrell six wheeler and Ferrari's last pre-Schumacher world title, to Alan Jones claiming his and Frank Williams' first title at the end of 1980. |
