...Funny Face Shop. In the quarter-century since La Strada made him famous, Fellini has never stopped "doodling," as he calls it -turning out thousands of sketches of his actors' faces, costumes and wigs.

Farmyard chickens dropped dead, wild birds fell from trees, mice and rats crawled out of their holes and died. One farmer saw his cat keel over, and when he went to pick up the body, the tail fell off.
