"Great movie of Enzo Ferrari's life. From the turbulent times between racing, building cars, his family and his conscience. In order to understand and love this movies a much as I did, you have to want to know what Enzo Ferrari was thinking in order to achieve his goals and success. Mr. Ferrari tells his story to a journalist who asks specific questions that Enzo himself wonders where or how he knows that about him. The journalist seems to know as much about Mr. Ferrari than he knows about himself. But he is not asking for an answer, more like a confession of his feelings. From his son Dino dying, his drivers dying in crashes on the tracks, from the public thinking his racecars are unsafe to his double life as a father. One of the best "biography" movie I have seen yet from rags to riches in creating a legend in the racing and automobile history."

"I must admit that I was not knowledgeable about Enzo Ferrai's
personal life. His relationship with Dino and later with Piero.
Here is Enzo with the 'warts' of his personal life and public's
view both creating the legend that bigger than life. Leaves you wanting more (and that is a good thing)."
A Legend!

"What a rivitting movie! The movie deals briefly with Enzo Ferrari's childhood and young adult years, then mostly from WWII until the early 60's. There are other brief flashes into the 70's and 80's, but not much. The main theme of the movie are the events that shaped Enzo Ferrari's life, and not so much about actual racing or running a racing team. The story focuses mainly on his personal life, the two women in his life who each gave him a child, and how conflicted he felt with people getting killed in his cars. The great news is that this movie would appeal to racing fans and non-racing fans (read: wives) because it is more a human interest story than a hard core gearhead movie. With the blessing of Piero Ferrari, Luca de Montezemolo and the Ferrari factory, the historic racecars gathered for the scenes are amazing!"

"If you love Ferraris and motorcar history don't miss this one. Originally made for Italian television as a mini series. This one is not to be missed. It runs very true to the known facts and is probably only mildly embelished. The characters are great and even resemble their real life counterparts. The cars are for the most part accurate for the motorheads among us.All in all a great flick. More than worth the money at almost four hours of entertainment value.Put this one your collection today!"
