The portrayal of Benito with his womanizing and political obsession was enlightening. There are numerous historical scenes that are not general knowledge so it made the film worth watching. It was very long, poorly acted and rather boring between the "action" scenes. For those wanting to pick up tid bits about this man's life, it was well worth the four + hours of watching.A complete mish mash - SpemLongamReseces
Much too long, badly edited and poorly directed. Appalling dubbing detracts from a pedantic story line. This dreadful movie does history a disservice and can only be recommended to insomniacs. The main character as portayed in this movie had no redeeming features and one is left mystified as to how he ever assembled enough supporters to have ever come to power in the union movement or politically.
