A friend of mine theorized, “Marcello thinks he’s going to get his end away. But then a kitten shows up and he knows he’s not. Because in life, everything can be going your way with a girl, but then if you get back to her place and there’s a cat, you can forget it. And Fellini knew this.”
Your friend is very wise, and so was Fellini. Did you read my interview with Mastroianni? He was adorable. Link is on the page, above.
