Theomnibus film Love in the City (Amore in città) was a neorealistapproach to the subject of love in Italy's atomized postwar society;incidents from the news were reenacted, in many cases by those to whomthey had actually occurred. Of the six episodes, perhaps Fellini's wasthe most successful because he himself was a visitor to a matrimonialagency, and autobiography becomes him. A reporter comes into the agencypretending that he is looking for a wife for his friend who hasdelusions of being a werewolf. To his surprise, they have just the womanfor him. "A preposterous premise," wrote Amos Vogel in FilmCulture, "yet a story develops that has elements of genuine pathosand flashes of the lyrical talent that has stamped Fellini as one of thetrue poets of neorealism." A scene in which children lead the mandown tenement corridors to the agency of love has a place among the manyhalls and tunnels of Fellini's cinematic imagination.
