Editor's Take:
Marcello Mastroianni became the face of Italian cinema's golden age. In Fellini's films he played tired, charming men drifting through glamour and doubt. The image of him with Anita Ekberg in the Trevi Fountain became iconic. He disliked being called a 'Latin lover'. He chose roles that undercut it, including a gay radio announcer in A Special Day. He made well over a hundred films. Few actors have made weakness and confusion so watchable.
