Apparently, Michael Mann had been trying to make this movie for 30 years.

That's Eugenio Castellotti in the picture with Enzo. He died testing in March, 1957. His crash was portrayed in the movie, and it was horrific as well.

It's cool that Patrick Dempsey portrayed Piero Taruffi, who won the 1957 Mille Miglia. It was the last one (other then ceremonial ones later) because of the accident near the end of the movie where Alfonso de Portago and his co-driver Edmund Nelson died along with 9 spectators, 5 of them children.
