Those people Fellini, Masina, Quinn, Nino Rota, those were people who had so much love and soul to give, unfortunately today artists are a mirror of what the world is nowadays, violence, bad taste, indifference,

okay, i confess i have never heard of this film until earlier this year and while watching it i didnt know what would be in the last scene. but when i saw it, i was literally stunned by its power. i cant remember a scene in the movies, especially that captured such monumental heartbreak, regret and loneliness. what was really devestating was knowing i have played that scene in my life too many times, it is terribly familiar.

@Nikatsu No, what he said is true. I hate this incredibly patronising "Things were better in the old days" attitude. Of course there are still brilliant movies being made, just as there were terrible movies back then. La Strada was released the same year as Devil Girl From Mars, don't pretend it was nothing but profound masterpieces.

@Kagemusha08 I know, I get so ridiculously annoyed when people start bleating on like that.

Oh my.... The last scene was incredibly sad. The one scene out of the entire movie that made me cry, well, almost. I already knew the end, I have a thing for spoilers, but it certainly ruins the effect. However, I still had tears in my eyes.

@vergoti20 God, I'm sick of the whole "THINGS WERE SO MUCH BETTER BACK IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS" line of bullshit. Have you people just forgotten the institutionalized racism, sexism, imperialism, censorship and repression (both political and societal) that existed in every first-world nation a half-century ago?

Gut-wrenching genius.

@vergoti20 You are absolutely correct....the genius, beauty, elegance, and passion are extinct in this "new" world...so sad....but at least WE witnessed and experienced it, no??? ~ Catalina

Anthony is maybe the best actor after Robert De Niro. This is only one example, but Barrabas, Zorba the Greek and several other films makes the grade to this great actor. We miss you, ANTHONY

Great man, great actor, this scene has broken my heart everytime I have seen this pic. He is US looking for an answer, overwelmed by pain and loneliness, confusion at the end of our lives. No actor has ever been so good at axpresing so powerful all those feelings in such a short time. God save Quiin!
