Excellent film Richard! It shows how glamorous and extremely dangerous those times were. About four years of Ferrari in the mid 50`s , unseen footage and excellent narration by Doug Nye, Nigel Roebuck, driver`s wives Girlfriends etc. Also subtitled views of " Il Commendatore" himself. If you`re a racing fan it`s a must see.
I would also recommend "Williams"  and " McLaren"

Well worth watching Richard for some great on-track and off-track track footage.  Not one to watch if you're feeling down though.  It dwelt somewhat on the Levegh crash at Le Mans in 1955 which personally I always find a distressing subject. The machinery is amazing as you'd expect.  Almost all of it is period footage, with a few in-car sequences filmed more recently I think.   I haven't seen "Williams" yet but I have seen "McLaren" and completely agree with John that it's a must-see.
