November 7, 1956 –
An early masterpiece from Fellini, I Vitelloni, was released in the US on this date.
Fellini intended to continue the story of the protagonist of this film, Moraldo Rubini, in a movie to be entitled Moraldo in the City, in which the young man would experience big city life for the first time, and suffer frustration, grief and disillusionment. The film was never made, but the script has been published in English, and some aspects of the narrative apparently inspired parts of Fellini’s later film, La Dolce Vita.
