"A fine and loving memorial that preserves his charm, his intellect and his splendid body of work."- Lawrence Van Gelder, The New York Times
With an abundance of charm, wit and thoughtful introspection, Marcello Mastroianni looks back and reminisces about his life and work.While disavowing the myth of the Latin lover -- a stereotype he loathed, Mastroianni brings vivacity, intelligence, and modesty to his delightful memoir lovingly directed by Anna Maria, his companion for the last 22 years.Together with humorous and affectionate anecdotes about such icons as Garbo, Visconti, Ferreri and Fellini, there are enchanting and ingenuous childhood memories, spontaneous bursts of enthusiasm for American idols like Duke Ellington and for Hollywood films, and some rarely seen screen tests and film clips.
