...Federico Fellini's La Strada, was the circus brute to the sad clown played by Fellini's wife, Giuletta Masina. Europa 51, directed by Roberto Rossellini, starred his then-wife Ingrid Bergman. Their grandest production - King Vidor's War and Peace, with Henry Fonda, Audrey Hepburn and her actor-producer husband Mel Ferrer - was also their biggest flop...

...Watanabe is becoming something of a patron saint of cinematic lost causes. In The Last Samurai, the Japanese actor played the title role as a doomed warrior with nothing left but his honor. He's at it again in his new film, this time as a World War II Japanese officer mounting a last stand against American troops in the critically acclaimed Letters From Iwo Jima.
