Shelby American

I learned a lot,entertained the whole time, ended wanting more. The back ground music did not stand out too me. Watched with earbuds.

Solid documentary-even if you are not that into auto racing. Interesting after watching Ford vs Ferrari which covers some of the same territory.

(Flash Review)

This documentary attempted to encapsulate the professional career of Carroll Shelby; the automotive racing icon. Splicing together some genuine racing footage, some talking heads and pictures, the film covered a lot of information. The trouble for me is the pacing jumped around abruptly and unevenly and never gave me an inspirational feel for his career and life. It was also formulaic and didn't take any creative approaches. Informative, yes; entertaining, not so much.

Very good summary of the life of an all American hero and all round nice guy. Everyone interested in motor racing will find this a useful trot through the history of a seriously successful racer and the cars and projects that he was involved with.

Highly recommend this with its fabulous footage and commentary from other equally famous competitors

Such a great story. Terrific archival photos and footage. But mother of god, the constant music is enough to make you stop watching. Didn't they trust the story?
