- Summary:
- Fellini's satirical attack on television in general and Italian TV in particular, portrays Amelia and Pippo, who wowed crowds with recreations of the dances of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers decades ago, reuniting for a nationwide TV special that features a list of guest stars that is both long and bizarre.
- "Together again! Amelia and Pippo, who decades ago wowed crowds with recreations of dances of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, are reuniting for a nationwide TV special. But wait 'til they find out who else is on the show! Film legend Federico Fellini skewers society in general and TV in particular with this giddy broadside. Don't touch the dial. Coming are celebrity lookalikes, a cow with 18 teats, an inventor of edible panties... the list is long and bizarre. But there's an elegant Fellini counterpoint to the garish glitter: the reunion of aging, but agelessly classy, Amelia and Pippo (portrayed by Giulietta Masina, Mrs. Fellini on real life, and frequent Fellini star Marcello Mastroianni). Face the music. And smile." -- Publisher's description
