Luci del Variet\u00e0 is about a bunch of misfits of a traveling vaudeville troupe. The group of actors, dancers, and performers struggle to make money and perform in front of just a few people. Their director, Checco Dal Monte, wants to be successful. His longtime sweetheart, Melina Amour, saves up money and plans to start a business. They arrive in a small town to stage another show, and Checco meets beauty queen Lily; he hires her as a dancer. Her sex appeal attracts large crowds of enthusiastic spectators, and she quickly becomes the star of the show. Checco falls in love with Lily and neglects Melina. The loyal group of performers are left without a leader, while Lily proves to be stubborn in her quest for fame. Lily signs a contract with another impresario and leaves him. After Melina\u2019s has forgiven him, Checco and the whole company start travelling again. On the train he meets a nice-looking woman \u2026 and the whole story starts again.<\/p>\n

Peculiarites<\/strong>
\nIn early 1950s newspapers discuss this “wives and husbands\u2019 cooperative,” that is to say the collaboration between the two directors and their respective wifes, namely actresses Carla Del Poggio and Giulietta Masina. Bianca, Lattuada\u2019s sister, a great organizer, helps them and Lattuada\u2019s father is the author of the score.
\n(Tullio Kezich, Fellini, Milano, Camunia, 1987, p. 166)<\/p>\n

Reviews<\/strong>
\nOne of the qualities of Luci del variet\u00e0 (directed by Lattuada and Fellini) seems to be the indifference, on the part of the authors, towards tragedies. At the end, when the girl, the main character, is almost naked on stage, sends kisses to the audience and says: \u201cthank you\u201d, she has tears in her eyes, as she understand they are clapping her body and not her performance. Said praises are cruel in a way and lead to a set of comments on the concepts of art and success. It is a sort of antinovel, rather than a satirical film. There is no hope for a happy ending, and characters are never moved, because their prevailing feeling is vanity.(Ennio Flaiano, “Il mondo”, a III, n. 18, 5 maggio 1951, ora in Lettere d’amore al cinema, Rizzoli, Milano, 1981)<\/p>\n

Luci del variet\u00e0 is inspired by the world of vaudeville and reports on the lives of comedians, soubrettes, and the whole crew of people performing on stage with intelligence and humor.\u00a0(Tullio Cicciarelli, “Il Lavoro Nuovo”, 7 dicembre 1950)<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3152,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1121","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fellini-en","category-filmography"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nLuci del variet\u00e0 -
