About your life... About your family... About your work... About your doubts... About your dreams... You will see yourself in the leading role as though you were looking in a mirror... This is your film - Federico Fellini"; "This is the story of Guido and his wife and his mistress and the innocent beckoning young girl and all the women in his life, past and present and how they became a living part of his erotic fantasies"; "The story of a man and his imagination - and the women who are so wickedly a part of it!"; after Fellini's 8th movie [plus 1/3 of one movie, plus 1/7 of another movie, which in his mind equaled 8 1/2 movies] he then had difficulty finding a suitable next movie, and he ended up making a movie about that search for a suitable next movie, and he called that movie "8 1/2"!) starring Marcello Mastroianni, Claudia Cardinale, Anouk Aimee, Sandra Milo, Rosella Falk, Barbara Steele, and Madeleine Lebeau NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still was consigned to us by legendary collector/dealer Marty Davis! Marty was hired in 1972 to evaluate the entire collection of W. Ward Marsh (1893-1971), who was the film critic for the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper from 1919, until his retirement in 1970. In 1919 Marsh wrote his first of 23,000 movie reviews for the Plain Dealer. Marsh died less than a year after his retirement in 1970. His library, and photographic and memorabilia archives were given to the proprietor of Cleveland's finest bookstore. Marty Davis was the first person with a background in film history and collectibles to examine the archives. He worked for three to four hours a day, for six months, and his compensation was his pick of the archives. This still (and the other stills that carry this paragraph) are from the W. Ward Marsh archives, and all were stamped on the back by Marty Davis to indicate that they came from this legendary collection. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
