Learn English with Anita Ekberg

The famous scene in the Trevi Fountain was shot in March, when nights were still cold. According to Federico Fellini (in an interview with Costanzo Costantini), Anita Ekberg stood in the cold water in her dress for hours without any trouble. Marcello Mastroianni had to wear a wetsuit beneath his clothes. Still freezing, he downed an entire bottle of vodka, so that he was completely drunk while shooting the scene.
