The White Sheik (Lo Sceicco Bianco)

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

starring Brunella Bovo
Alberto Sordi
For his first film as a solo director, Fellini turned to popular comic-strip magazines with their improbable tales of romance and derring-do.
Fellini knew this world well - he had worked as an artist on the very magazines he satirises so brilliantly in The White Sheik.
Arriving in Rome on her honeymoon, Wanda promptly slips away to find her idol, the dashing hero of a melodramatic photo-strip.
While her hapless husband is desperately keeping up appearances, Wanda is discovering the real man behind the glamorous image of the White Sheik.
