Plot Summary
Golden Globe-nominated satire on television and the instant celebrities who are created by it. Ginger and Fred, two dancers who made careers imitating Rogers and Astaire, are reunited on a tacky and bizarre television show. Directed by the Oscar-honoree and nine-time nominee Frederico Fellini ("8 1/2," "Amacord") and starring international screen star and multiple Oscar-nominee Marcello Mastroianni ("8 1/2," "Dark Eyes"). "...a warm and very human story..." - TV Guide.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: When, as happens on several occasions, Amelia and Pippo become an integral part of the impressionistic film that surrounds them, instead of just being witnesses to it, Ginger and Fred ranks with the best work Mr. Fellini has ever done.
Fresh: The film isn't a particularly pleasurable experience (the satire of television is broad and wayward, and the attempts to wring pathos from Ginger and Fred's geriatric infirmities fall far short of the mark), but it does have a cranky, old-man's integrity.
Customer Reviews
Terrible Dubbing
Be warned: This movie is dubbed into English, and the quality is not great. The whole atmosphere of the movie is squashed under the weight of this mediocre hack job.
