Using two of his favorite performers, wife Giulietta Masina and Marcello Mastroianni, Fellini tells the story of two retired hoofers who return to Rome to appear on a TV variety show. Though the city has decayed, though the small screen has overtaken the glamour of cinema, though they themselves have grown older, this small-time Astaire-and-Rogers team somehow creates magic as they glide across the floor for one last dance...

It's one of Fellini's more accessible and warmer films.

Marks the first pairing of Fellini veterans Marcello Mastroianni and Giulietta Masina and, from their instant chemistry, you'd think they'd been together for years.

A warm and very human story about two people who share a little bit of love, interwoven with director Fellini's diatribe against the inanity of the modern television age.

When, as happens on several occasions, Amelia and Pippo become an integral part of the impressionistic film that surrounds them, instead of just being witnesses to it, Ginger and Fred ranks with the best work Mr. Fellini has ever done.

The film isn't a particularly pleasurable experience (the satire of television is broad and wayward, and the attempts to wring pathos from Ginger and Fred's geriatric infirmities fall far short of the mark), but it does have a cranky, old-man's integrity.
