In the summer of 1957, Enzo Ferrari is faced with mounting personal and professional challenges. While the Ferrari car company is running out of funds, Enzo must keep his wife and mistress happy, and prepare his racing team for the Mille Miglia race. Michael Mann's well-made biographical drama concentrates on a short period in its subject's life. Although the racing scenes are exciting, the film as a whole never feels particularly captivating or important. It is unclear why this story is told in English. Now the Italian characters are played with a fake accent, real accent, or no accent at all. Troy Kennedy Martin scripted from the 1991 biography Enzo Ferrari: The Man, the Cars, the Races, the Machine by Brock Yates.
