The story centers mostly around the Mussolini family, and is obviously kinder to Mussolini than was history. George C. Scott, makes a better Mussolini than he did as Patton. Originally made as a mini-series, the DVD format is poor and in one hour segments with the introduction inserted at many of these segment. The video is some of the worst transfer I have ever seen. While viewing a few of the sections,so far out of focus, I wondered if the studio that produced this DVD ever watched it before placing it on the market? The sound is mostly good, but there are no sub-titles to help through the dialog. I give this 3-stars for acting and the subject matter. This is a not a work of history, but a drama based upon a Son's understanding of his father.

I agree with everything the previous viewer wrote about this mini-series. The acting is superb but the quality of the transfer is worse than a VHS dub, which is apparent from the quality of the video.

There is also a Chinese version available but beware because it comes in 3 parts and Amazon only offers one. The other three have to be purchased from independent vendors if available. The quality is only a tad bit better.

Hopefully someday this excellent mini-series will be available in DVD from its original producers.

I hope this was helpful.
