CRITERION COLL: WHITE SHEIK (SUB B&W)

Details

• Release Year: 1952
• Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance
• Plot: 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 (Alberto Sordi), setting off a slapstick comedy worthy of Charlie Chaplin. The themes and style that would make Federico Fellini world famous can be found in this charming comedy. Fellini's first solo directorial effort also features such long-time collaborators as his wife, the actress Giulietta Masina and composer Nino Rota.
