Cast: Peppino De Filippo, Carla Del Poggio, Giulietta Masina, John Kitzmiller, Folco Lulli.
New restoration by Cineteca di Bologna.
In a small town, Checco, the manager of a struggling theatre troupe, meets the starry-eyed Lily and hires her as a dancer. She soon draws large crowds and provokes the jealousy of Checco's mistress. But the fledgling performer has far bigger ambitions…
“Like a preliminary sketch for a vast and splendid mural, it unfolds Fellini’s wonderful vision of life in all its joy and sadness, hope and fear, triumph and defeat, that emerges fully in the later movies.” (Los Angeles Times)
“With its tale of a peripatetic band of low-rent theater types, Variety Lights incorporates many, if not most, of Fellini’s signature themes.” (Slant Magazine)
