I have deep scratches on the driver's door window film.....Any ideas how I can get rid of them?

What do you mean by "window film"?

The clear film on the inside of the window

Did you buy second hand car? There is no film on the drivers window, maybe previous owner stuck it to get shaded glass?

As Ging353 said, there is no film on inside of a new cars window. Suggest you just peel off the film with the help of a hairdryer if necessary.

I was always led to believe that the film on the glass was part of the triplex coating in case the window broke to stop it shattering into millions of pieces.

That film is there but it's inside sealed between 2 sheets of glass.
In cast of breakage it helps to hold it together. Usually for windscreens, known as laminated glass.
Toughened glass is that which is normally fitted in rest of windows and shatters into millions of pieces. Wouldn't want that hitting you in the face.
