I Vitelloni er en af Federico Fellinis mindre kendte film, som dog indeholder mester-instruktørens sædvanlige sans for skarp observation af menneskelige skæbner. Filmen er et karakterstudie af fem unge mænd, som holder til i en lille, isoleret by ved Adriaterhavet. Deres utilfredshed og rastløshed fører dem ud i forskellige aktiviteter, der ikke alle er lige beundringsværdige. Godfather-kompo-nisten Nino Rota har skrevet filmens enkle og udtryksfulde musik.

Other images seen here are not macho in the literal sense, but are indirectly related to testosterone or cojones on some level: we see military aircraft making bombing raids, and footage of car crashes.
