Reaching gracefully into the Los Angeles skyline, handsome in its vertically fluted steel and blue-grey enamel over coating, the structure looked like a new office building. Yet it contained not a single office - or, indeed, any room of any sort. The structure was simply a shell, set up for the specific purpose of shielding from sight and insulating from sound a drilling rig on Pico Boulevard...
...adults," Fellini parades a gallery of grotesques both sacred and profane: whores, prophets, shrouded nuns, epicene cultists, damned maidens ablaze, sundry vile bodies and Freudian symbols on horseback. All are flamboyantly colorful creations. And a few of the film's conceits are breathtaking to behold, from the gauzy blue-grey magic of a sequence in which Giulietta's grandfather succumbs to a lady bareback rider to her neighbor's improbable Eden - an art-nouveau fleshpot in rainbow hues where sinners can slide a chute from bed to swimming pool or repair to a tree house devised...
...fussy posturing as a Parisian fashion editor. He is supposedly irresistible to women, and they to him. So he delays marrying a determined fraülein (Romy Schneider), consults a sex-crazed Viennese analyst (Peter Sellers), and calls forth memories of his sexual prowess, filmed appropriately in dull blue-grey hues.

Sellers dresses up his cliche role with a pageboy wig and temper tantrums...
...larvae had been allowed to mature they would have turned into half-inch flies resembling bluebottles, with yellow heads and blue-grey bodies. The human botfly does not bite or lay its eggs on people, but enslaves smaller flies and mosquitoes by gluing its eggs to their bodies. When the slave bites a victim, the eggs hatch into larvae which bore into him. And, says Dr. Kaye, two of them might have been enough to start a general infestation of the U.S. with another painful pest...
Lonely Mat. She is 22, unmarried, slim, athletic, 5 ft. 4 in.-a blonde with blue-grey eyes, a firm and gracious definition of face, and full lips in a wide mouth that is often shaped in a wonderful grin. Refreshingly, the sense of sex that this composite production exudes seems intended to reproduce rather than destroy the best of mankind. Her father was a tea planter in India, where she was born. She went to a series of English boarding schools and London's Central School of Speech and Drama...
