Film Synopsis

Ivan Cavalli (Leopoldo Trieste) brings his new wife Wanda (Brunella Bovo) to Rome on the least romantic honeymoon in history - a rigid schedule of family meetings and audiences with the Pope. But Wanda, dreaming of the dashing hero of a photo - strip cartoon, drifts off in search of the White Sheik, thus setting off a slapstick comedy worthy of Chaplin. The style and themes which made Federico Fellini world famous are already apparent in this charming comedy (his first solo directorial effort), featuring such long - time collaborators as his wife, actress Giulietta Masina, and composer Nino Rota.
