Short description
Rome, 1957. A woman, Cabiria, is robbed and left to drown by her boyfriend, Giorgio. Rescued, she resumes her life and tries her best to find happiness in a cynical world. Even when she thinks her struggles are over and she has found happiness and contentment, things may not be what they seem.
What's left behind the scenes
- According to Dominique Deloche, assistant to Federico Fellini (1920-1993), actor François Périer was cast as Oscar to secure additional funding for the film as a co-production with France.
- The film's screenplay served as the basis for the plot of the musical "Sweet Charity" (Bob Fosse, 1969).
- Director Federico Fellini (1920-1993) filmed producer Leo Cattuzzo as the “man with the backpack” and wanted to leave these shots in the film, but producer Dino De Laurentiis (1919-2010) objected. He believed that the scene slowed down the overall rhythm of the film and eventually simply stole the film reel with that scene from the editing room. According to De Laurentiis, about 5-7 years after the film's release, Fellini called him and began to plead with him to return the reel so he could reinsert it into the film. By this time, the film was already considered a classic, and De Laurentiis agreed.
