netflixed



I'd of course seen and loved "La Strada" and "Nights of Cabiria," but somehow Fellini's "Il Bidone" languished in the dregs at the bottom of my Netflix queue. I loved it, particularly Broderick Crawford's performance as an aging swindler whose conscience gets the better of him. A great example of Fellini's early realist style, with a lot of humor mix into the pathos.
