The Best Actor on the 'set'. The distinguished italian motion picture director, Federico Fellini, is possibly in his own right one of the best actors in the world. Currently filming “SATYRICON” in Rome – a united artist release - ' Il Maestro Fellini' does not care whether his actors are professionally experienced or completely without acting experience. Before every major scene, Federico Fellini enacts each role himself, giving each actor meticulous instructions and gestures. This photograph shows Federico Fellini at work (right) with Hiram Keller, who plays 'Ascyltus'.
