[Luce Cinecittà on Elio Pandolfi]: Even as a child Elio Pandolfi amused family and friends by starring in his own home-made shows. As soon as the war was over, Pandolfi began a career that plunged him into the Italian entertainment world, allowing him to work with Visconti and Fellini, bringing him into regular contact with Mastroianni, Manfredi, Paolo Panelli and Bice Valori, and leading to the formation of a regular duo with Antonella Steni.
