Born in Fontana Liri, a small village in the Apennines, Mastroianni grew up in Turin and Rome.During World War II he was interned in a Nazi prison, but he escaped and hid in Venice. He soon became a major international star, and among his 40 films, Marcello Mastroianni played a homosexual, a cuckolded husband, a pregnant man and, as he said, "wretches, where sex didn't even enter the picture." Yet, as demonstrated in this fascinating study of his work, the film icon never shook the Don Giovanni image of his star turn in Fellini's La Dolce Vita, with Anita Ekberg in 1960, where he played a disillusioned and self-loathing tabloid columnist who spends his days and nights exploring Rome's high society.
