I didn't know that this had also been a play on Broadway. It is a very artsy-craftsy film presumptively based on the life loves of Frederico Fellini and his film entitled 81/2. Although the film lacks character development I think we all can gleen something from it, such as the feeling of the era, 1960's and the egocentricism of Fellini. The music and dance scores are spectacular. The film for me was entertaining.
