What Stardust Is About

Two variety performers touring wartime Italy find themselves in front of American soldiers who have stopped in their town expecting something in the Broadway line. The pair deliver exactly that and live the brightest few days of their careers. Then the army marches north, the fame ends without ceremony, and what is left is stage dust. Alberto Sordi directs and stars, opposite Monica Vitti, and their numbers are the part of the film everyone remembers. Across its two and a half hours it looks at the Italian variety tradition with affection and with pain, asking what remains once the applause stops.
