Masterpìece of Federico Fellini, La dolce vita (1960), shows the life of a journalist in Rome. Here is the scene with Sylvia (Anita Ekberg), the Swedish-American movie star. The famous momment in the Trevi Fountain was shot in March when nights were still cold. Fellini claimed that Anita Ekberg stood in the cold water in her dress for hours without any trouble while Mastroianni had to wear a wetsuit beneath his clothes - to no avail. It was only after "he polished off a bottle of vodka" that Fellini could shoot the scene with a drunk Mastroianni (Costantini, 47; wikipedia, Dolce Vita).
