- Award Snub: It was nominated for four Academy Awards and won for Best Costume Design, but it wasn't up for either Best Picture or Best Foreign Language Film.
- Best Known for the Fanservice: More than half the cast are a bunch of beauty icons and sex symbols who men lusted for at the time of release.
- In particular it is famed for being Anita Ekberg's most iconic role for a reason. The fountain scene with her...
- Once Original, Now Common: This is a film where the "hero" is an amoral Casanova Wannabe journalist type who hangs around lots of decadent celebrity parties and can't get no satisfaction. Precisely what made it seem so racy and different in 1960, and so long and ordinary now.
- Signature Scene: The Jesus statue being carried by helicopter, Mastroianni and Ekberg embracing in the Trevi fountain.
- Tear Jerker: Marcello watching his dead friend and children.
