I Vitelloni (1953)

Comedy, Drama

We are the hollow men in this last of meeting places we grope together and avoid speech. Gathered on this beach of the torrid river.

Overview

Five young men dream of success as they drift lazily through life in a small Italian village. Fausto, the group's leader, is a womanizer; Riccardo craves fame; Alberto is a hopeless dreamer; Moraldo fantasizes about life in the city; and Leopoldo is an aspiring playwright. As Fausto chases a string of women, to the horror of his pregnant wife, the other four blunder their way from one uneventful experience to the next.
