I Vitelloni

ComedyDrama109 min

In a small Italian town, five young men idle through their days, talking about success and escape while doing little to change their lives. Franco Fabrizi’s Fausto is pushed into marriage after getting a woman pregnant, even as he keeps chasing other women; Moraldo (Franco Interlenghi) is the one friend who still imagines a different future. Around them, Alberto Sordi’s overgrown dreamer and Leopoldo Trieste’s aspiring playwright turn long nights, family money, and vague ambition into a portrait of postadolescent drift, directed by Federico Fellini.
