The voices behind the English Dolce Vita

A

TOP-LINE cast of British actors and actresses -strong enough to make the for- tune of any West End play-has been used to dub English voices on the controversial char- acters in Federico Fel- lini's La Dolce Vita.

The Alm-shown in the West End with Halian dialogue and English subtitles is being shabled into English ful general release.

"See that your bandsmen have a nice shave, a smart haircut and their instru- ments well polished."

They must alva, presumably, remember to play in tune.

FENELLA DECIDES TO MORPHY RICHARDS

PLAY IT STRAIGHT

ENELLA FIELDING-one of the top girls in intimate

revue, and one of the few genuine eccentrics in the show world-plans to give up revue entirely and take

the serious road to becoming a dramatic actress. She is also determined to be taken seriously.

She celebrates this new phase by appearing in Shakespeare-as Phoebe in As You Like It at the Pembroke Theatre in the round.

"People will always assume that because you act in a frivolous manner you are a frivolous 'person," said 28-year-old Miss Fielding in her famous voice that sounds like a series of succulent oboe notes.

"I would like to be respected in the profession. Because you are in revue people imagine that you just switch it on and off and all the work is done for you by the witty lines.

Dahling, if you could see some of the lines we get to work with you would realise how hard we have to work."
