Ginger e Fred (Ginger und Fred)

Ginger e Fred (Ginger und Fred) | Italy 1985 | Dir: Federico Fellini | Scr: Federico Fellini, Tonino Guerra, Tullio Pinelli | Cam: Tonino Delli Colli, Ennio Guarnieri | Mus: Nicola Piovani | Cast: Giulietta Masina, Marcello Mastroianni, Franco Fabrizi, Frederick Ledebur, Augusto Pederosi | 125 min | original version with German subtitles | Once again, starring roles for Fellini's muse Giulietta Masina and his cinematic alter ego Marcello Mastroianni. The two play a tap-dancing duo who, 30 years ago, enjoyed success in variety theatres with numbers by Ginger Rogers & Fred Astaire. Their life paths have long since parted, but now they are to dance together again for an over-the-top TV Christmas show. Fellini loved variety theatre, the circus, the cinema. Television he did not like.
