A funny, sardonic, and clever satire on popular heroes and ordinary people's illusions.

Top CriticClever lighthearted spoof on movie stars.
12/22/06
Not one of Fellini's masterworks (and uncharacteristically farcical), but it is a must-see for those interested in the director's oeuvre and an entertaining piece on its own.

Fellini would make much better films but this isn't a bad debut.
01/13/04
Federico Fellini's first film, a charming caper that follows a pair of tormented honeymooners through their slapstick adventures in Rome, has put to rest my ungrounded fear of Fellini.
10/16/03
Fellini's most purely pleasurable movie.
08/04/03
Probably shouldn’t be your first stop into the wonderfully weird world of Fellini, but his fans should absolutely find something to savour in this enjoyable little farce.
07/23/03
Such as in La Strada and Nights of Cabiria, in The White Sheik Fellini acknowledges his neo-realist foundation, and displays a capacity for fantasy.
05/08/03
a delightful comedy that demonstrates Fellini’s talent of directing exaggerated actors in madcap scenarios
