April 19, 1961 –
Frederico Fellini’s iconic, La Dolce Vita, premiered in the United States on this date.
When shooting the famous Fontana di Trevi scene, director Federico Fellini complained that the water in the fountain looked dirty. A representative of Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) present at the shooting was able to supply the film team with some of the airline’s green sea dye marker (for use in case of an emergency landing at sea). This was used to color the water, and the director was satisfied.
