Morley Safer Recorded The Greatest Lamborghini Documentary Ever Shot

Safer was a lifetime journalist, starting in print and eventually jumping into television news with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. His assignments took him around Europe and Africa, and he was the only Western journalist on site in East Berlin in 1961 when East Germany started construction of the Berlin Wall, per USA Today’s obituary. In 1964, he joined CBS, eventually serving as a war correspondent during the Vietnam War.

As such, Safer approached the subject of one of the most amazing Italian supercars—the Lamborghini Countach—with the same amount of respect and vigor as any of his other assignments.
