...it's directed by the legendary Francis Ford Coppola. He makes his characters lovable, charming, even impish, and makes the telling of the story as important as the point it has to make.

The car itself is the star of this movie, the low-slung, bullet-nose that looks like a discreet cross-breeding of the postwar Studebaker and the Batmobile.
