            A great account of an important man in motor history

            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

            A Great Tribute to Mr. Shelby

            I learned alot in this documentary. Some of it followed the Ford v Ferrari movie but most of it was the before, during, and after of Shelby.. and Ford that wasn't shared. I'm happy a watched this. I now know alot more about Shelby than I ever have. He was cheated for awhile. After all he'd done it's a shame. I have no respect for Henry Ford II. Anyway, I'm glad Carroll Shelby was living the life he wanted in the end.

            Worth seeing even for those who are not into racing

            Good documentary about Carroll Shelby's life and work. Great film footage keeps it interesting. The background music is so loud...at times it drowns out the dialogue.

            Much better than ford vs Ferrari.

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

            Really Good

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