The Explanation
(for those who require one)
And, of course, that is what all of this is -- all of this: the one song, ever changing, ever reincarnated, that speaks somehow from and to and for that which is ineffable within us and without us, that is both prayer and deliverance, folly and wisdom, that inspires us to dance or smile or simply to go on, senselessly, incomprehensibly, beatifically, in the face of mortality and the truth that our lives are more ill-writ, ill-rhymed and fleeting than any song, except perhaps those songs -- that song, endlesly reincarnated -- born of that truth, be it the moon and June of that truth, or the wordless blue moan, or the rotgut or the elegant poetry of it. That nameless black-hulled ship of Ulysses, that long black train, that Terraplane, that mystery train, that Rocket '88', that Buick 6 -- same journey, same miracle, same end and endlessness."

...so who the hell is sitting to Marcello's left? Claudia Cardinale?
Or to Catherine's left, eh?
To me Marcello's look is to one of his mates saying "I'm with frigging Catherine Deneuve, heh heh!"

Oh Marcello *sigh* so handsome
Marcello= A man's man and a great personality.
Have you guys seen their daughter, Chiara Mastroianni? She looks JUST like her dad, it's astounding. But with a good dose of Catherine in there too. Chiara is a beautiful woman in her own right.
