* UntranslatedTitle: ''I Vitelloni'' ("The slabs of veal") was an insulting term for [[TheSlacker Slackers]] in the dialect of Fellini's home region of Romagna. The original American release retitled it ''[[CompletelyDifferentTitle The Young and the Passionate]]'', but it's gone by the original title since then. Interestingly, this trope also applied for ''I Vitelloni'' in most regions of Italy, where they'd never heard that bit of slang before.
