On February 5th 1960, Federico Fellini's iconic film La Dolce Vita was released. The scene in which Marcello Mastroianni and Anita Ekberg take a midnight dip in the Trevi Fountain has become one of the most famous moments in the movie. The scene was shot in the month of March and while the Swedish actress plunged without hesitation into the cold water of the fountain, her Roman co-star was not so fearless. Mastroianni was no doubt relieved when Fellini allowed him to wear a pair of waders for some of the shots! Comments are closed.
