Trivia:
When Mario Monicelli's segment, "Renzo e Luciana", was cut, producer Carlo Ponti offered to finance the Monicelli film as a full-length feature on its own. This was never realized. This segment was apparently cut because Monicelli promised to deliver a "major American star" but failed in this endeavor, thus his film became cast with mostly unknowns. When the film premiered at Cannes, it was jeered by critics and filmmakers after they became informed of the news about Monicelli's unjustly removed segment. more

do not miss!, 20 July 2008
Author: indy-39 from United States

Specifically for film lovers,like myself, who only ever got to watch this collection (minus the first segment) on late-late night commercial TV- run out and get a copy of this remastered version. To watch this as it was originally intended- the work of some of Italy's finest directors- is a joy. As for which segment is the best... it's hard to say...Fellini's segment is better than I remembered it...and who could ever forget Anita Ekberg...in truth I have a fondness for all these Italian films I saw in my youth that makes objectivity hard.P.S.: Of course, the same must be said for Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow-also reissued- I nearly cried at how good the print was.
