Formula 1: Nell'Inferno del Grand Prix (1970)
Not even worth for F1-fans
When I found this movie on DVD in a store, I thought that it might be a B-Movie with a bad story, but good driving-scenes. What a mistake!
There are 3 Reasons why:
1. The story of this botch is not worth mentioning, the performance of the actors is not worth mentioning and there are a couple of cut scenes that are repeated in quick succession that everybody should notice.
2. As a fan of old Grand Prix Racing I thought it would be nice to see some old Formula 1 action, but that hope was disappointed too: The racing-scenes with the actors are on such an unrealistic level that it hurts. It seems to me, that they looked at a couple of 4 year old boys playing with their toys and directly realized it for the movie.
3. The real-racing scenes from 1968/1969(?) gave me the rest: There is a huge difference in image quality. The quality of the movie itself is OK, but the real-racing scenes are of such low quality, that it seems they only could afford to buy material that was shot by amateur film-makers.
The short appearance of some of the F1-Heros of the 1960's (Graham Hill) could not change my decision: After I watched it, I threw it away.
Hopefully I can keep you from wasting your time and money.
