Oh, and despite my rants on Fellini. The obligatory linkage.

The opening number to Sondheim's A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the
Forum.

(Way better than anything Fellini produced)
Although the dude (George Eastman (I)) under the Minotaur costume in
Satyricon was a cutie.

Lately I've been getting hooked on the Bud Spencer & Terence Hill
movies.
Very entertaining duo whom you can watch a few movies of on YOUTUBE.

Just watched "Watch Out, We're Mad (1974)" last night. Very good movie.
Bud Spencer makes me think, "If Jonathan Frakes got chubby or Frakes is the
younger clone of this Bud Spencer... perfect match." Bud Spencer projects
strong extremely-attractive "bear" vibes and when he smiles it is delightful
with his wonderfully expressive face. He'd be a dominant gay bear
object-of-lust if the younger gay folks even knew he existed.

Terrence Hill has "crazy eyes", but only when he smiles too widely.
Otherwise he's a strong masculine cutie. Very interesting personality
dynamics between the two which go beyond voice acting to the intrinsic
wonderful body language of the duo. So many actors these days lack the body
language to sell the roles they are playing to any level of audience
engagement and the Bud Spencer & Terence Hill combo are quality actors &
brilliant comedians which should be studied intensively in style & skill in
all acting courses across the world.

So many actors these days could be replaced by a bucket on a mop with a
photograph of their faces taped to it for all the body language & facial
expressions that are projected lately. Seriously, once you see Bud Spencer &
Terence Hill in action you will grow a tad disgusted with what passes for
"acting" in the theaters and television. Ah, but I praise and I rant. Stop
reading and click the YOUTUBE links already and buy some of their DVD sets.
At least prize actors that can convince you with their subtle body language
and non-extreme facial expressions that there is actually a thought process
behind the character's motivations deeper than "my next line" being blurted
out unexpressively.
