A woman believes her husband may be cheating on her with a beautiful model. She hires a detective agency to find out for her. When she realizes the truth she agonizes over what her decision will be.
This is my first Fellini film. Considering I love movies and have seen almost 2000 of them that may seem strange...but it's true. The only Fellini I ever saw was the "Toby Dammit" sequence in "Spirits of the Dead". I HATED it. All images with precious little story. I didn't hate this one but I don't love it either.
The central story itself is interesting and the acting by the whole cast is good. Also Fellini shot in bright beautiful color. The cinematography is just incredible and some of the images are astonishing. However it reaches the point where the images overpower and dilute the main story. At first I liked them but then they started to get annoying. More than once I just wish Fellini had controlled himself and stopped throwing weird images and very strange characters at us. The movie drags out over two hours which is far too long. Also I found the main music score to be just dreadful--truly awful. I'm sure back in 1965 this wowed people but it doesn't hold up. Still I am interested in seeing more of Fellini's films. I can't say I loved this but it has me interested.
