Indeed it is a Benotto in that video, and some great glimpses of Giacinto Benotto in the video as well.
Ole went on to be a Benotto distributor in Denmark and later sold Ole Ritter branded-Benottos in Denmark, if not across northern Europe. They were identical to the other Mexican manufactured Benottos except for the lack of Benotto branding on the seat stay caps and fork crowns.

Not sure if Ole Ritter rode a Cinelli on his hour record attempts, but I have enjoyed clips from The Impossible Hour on youtube many times - the final narration is especially wonderful.

However, if this is the film David is talking about, the hour record attempt is made on a Benotto.
