Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFirst feature film appearance of Cassandra Peterson, better known as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. She and a friend were living in Rome when they ran into someone they met in Las Vegas the year before when they were working as showgirls. He was working as a student director for Ferderico Fellini and introduced them to him. He invited them to appear in the film. They played several small uncredited parts throughout with no speaking lines. Peterson said in an interview years later that her total screen time was less than 30 seconds. But she said she enjoyed it and that Fellini was "a great guy."
- GoofsPeter Gonzales Falcon's hairstyles are all in the longish 1972 mode, even though the portions of the film in which he appears are supposed to be taking place thirty or more years earlier, at which time men's hair was cut much, much shorter, and would never be worn as it appears in this film.
- Quotes
Gore Vidal: Well, I suppose you're going to ask me that inevitable question: why do I live in Rome? You could say I live here because its so central - centrale. But, most of all, I like the Romans. They don't care if you live or die. They're like cats. And, of course, this is the city of illusions. It's a city, after all, of the church, of government, of movies. They're all makers of illusions. I'm one too.
