Chris Rea - Shirley Do You Own A Ferrari
The video above is my personal montage scenes selection from my favorite "La Passione" movie.

La Passione Soundtrack music. The British singer/songwriter's soundtrack to the 1996 film he produced & for which he wrote the screenplay.
Chris Rea began to work on the movie "La Passione" already in the winter 1993/94 but after some interruptions, it has been released 1996.
Chris Rea describes his film as "various fantasies of Italy and Ferraris, set to music", so it's a mix of his own real passions: music, cars, and Italy.

Rea himself does not appear in it, though he wrote the screenplay. The story concerns Jo, a young Italian immigrant to England who steals an ice-cream recipe from his father, runs away from home, makes a best-selling perfume from the recipe, becomes rich and powerful, and then realizes that his family was more important than everything else. One of the film's notable highlights is auto racing footage from the 1960s. Singer Shirley Bassey appears as herself.

In this film, Shirley Bassey made her screen debut. But not really as an actor, she appears two times singing. First, in Jo's dream singing "Shirley Do You Own A Ferrari?" and dancing with him. Later comes something like a video advertisement for Jo's vanilla aftershave called "La Passione" and Shirley Bassey singing the song La Passione is the background music for it. But Shirley is visible at the beginning and the end of the spot only, near to an ultra large after shave flacon and then going down from the stage
.
For one young boy, a passion can be more than just a dream...

Shirley
Do you own a Ferrari?
Do you live in a wonderful place?
And the smile on your face
Is of joyful laughter happy ever after
Yes, I own a Ferrari
Yes, my life is your dream
And I live in a wonderful place
And the smile on my face
Is not sycophantic
I'm just a true romantic
How about you
What is wrong
With a heart with a dream

A soul without hope
Is a terrible scene
Deep in the coldest and darkest of nights
I hang onto my dream
Keep it locked in my sights
What is wrong
With a heart with a dream

A soul without hope
Is a terrible scene
Deep in the coldest and darkest of nights
I hang onto my dream
Keep it locked in my sights
Shirley, Do you own a Ferrari?
Shirley
Shirley, Do You Own A Ferrari.... ?
