I wonder if Peter Sellers ever based any

I wonder if Peter Sellers ever based any of his characters on the charmingly hapless "Fernando" (Alberto Soldi) from this really quite engaging comedy? He arrives in Rome with new new bride "Wanda" (Brunella Bovo) with a full schedule ahead of them. He's more of a traditionalist and on this trip he wants to meet with family and do the courteous rounds introducing his new bride. She, on the other hand, is obsessed with the eponymous film star, and manages to arrange a meeting. She doesn't tell her husband, of course, and sets off for what she assumes will be the briefest of hand-shakes. Not quite - she is soon carried away with the crew to a filming location on the coast. No phone, no train and "Fernando" many miles away doing the dutiful relative thing - without his "Wanda"! What now ensues sees both characters try to reunite whilst having some fun escapades en route. I can only hope it's a silent film they are making for the noise on set, the strangers wandering through shot and "Wanda" ending up dressed as a harem girl makes for a chaotic process that I suspect Fellini is not suggesting is based on his own. Meantime, "Fernando" is getting more and more perplexed, fed up, disorientated - and even tempted. His uncle also reminds them that tomorrow at 11am, they have an appointment - at the Vatican - with the Pope! Can they get back together in time? The scenario is naturally fun, Soldi has a little of the Chaplin to his persona and a strong supporting cast help keep this quickly paced and genuinely amusing for just shy of ninety minutes.

Calling all Fellini Lovers

A classic Fellini comedy, with all the atmosphere of a carnival that fans expect. Brunella Bovo is lovely, naive, well-meaning, but lead astray by a philandering playboy. Meanwhile, her new husband seems doomed to appear utterly insane to his family who has come to Rome to meet his blushing bride--suddenly disappeared. Charming, funny, what's not to love? Oh, and Guilietta Masina arrives in her role as the kind and sensual Cabiria--icing on the cake! While certainly not the greatest Fellini film on record, it makes for pleasant viewing. Yes, the behavior of the characters is hardly exemplary, but then, would that be entertaining?
