General della Rovere is a technically perfect movie, a marvel of skillful photography and acting. But its overall effect is nowhere near as moving as director Roberto Rossellini would have us believe, and at times it is hollow and dull...
...association is largely a journalists' creation. Fellini, 41, and Antonioni, 48, are experimenters whose latest films delicately dissect the effete upper classes.
