La Dolce Vita -- 'One of the most influential and popular works by Federico Fellini, LA DOLCE VITA follows the 'sweet life' of a tabloid journalist (Marcello Mastroianni) who covers the glitzy show business life in Rome.

Marcello (Marcello Mastroianni) is a journalist in Rome during the 1950s who covers tabloid news of movie stars, religious visions and the self-indulgent aristocracy. The story depicts Marcello's life, the ease, indecision and frequency with which he gets distracted by women. It has the following distinct episodes. If the evenings of each episode were joined with the morning of the respective preceding episode together as a day, they would form seven consecutive days, which may not necessarily be the case.

(1960) Anna Magnani, Giulietta Masina. A harsh study about the grim realities of life in a non-coed, totally female prison environment. Story concerns a young girl who comes to prison and experiences the entire prison subculture. The inmates she befriends vary from big tough dangerous dames to smaller submissive ladies who are totally lost in prison life. Very exploitive, yet still a fascinating look at women's prison life. This is a damn good movie. Three stars by Leonard Maltin. 16mm.
