Newlywed Wanda (Brunella Bovo), on her honeymoon in Rome with her husband Ivan (Leopoldo Trieste), slips away to meet her idol, adventure magazine character The White Sheik (Alberto Sordi). In the words of film critic J. Hoberman: "Not only the first but also in some respects the most charming, least overweening film Fellini ever made — a comic fable of mass-produced fantasy and fanatical devotion." Co-written by Michelangelo Antonioni.
