2024103 min7.5 / 10

A celebratory documentary portrait of an extraordinary life spanning aristocracy, wartime heroism, Nazi hunting, and an unlikely second act as a legendary actor and metal musician.

Aristocratic Italian roots, a close family connection to James Bond novelist Ian Fleming, wartime experiences in the British and Finnish military, post-war Nazi-hunting adventures and a side career as a heavy metal rock singer. And one of the most iconic actors of all time.
