According to Di Laurentis, he removed the "censored" scene[edit]

According to a 1998 Di Laurentis interview for National Public Radio included on the Criterion DVD, it was Di Laurentis himself who removed the "man with the sack" scene because he felt the scene stopped the story, and the movie simply worked better without it. He and Fellini agreed to do two previews, with and without the sequence. According to Di Laurentis, the results supported Di Laurentis' opinion. The scene was not censored, Di Laurentis simply exercised his final cut rights to the film that he owned. He stole the negative and positive of the scene and told Fellini he knew nothing about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.40.179.212 (talk) 00:23, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Posters & film stills[edit]

Though the poster is a still, it's also the theatrical poster, so shouldn't be captioned "film still". You could always use the original English-language poster if you prefer: http://www.moviepostershop.com/nights-of-cabiria-movie-poster-1957/AE8010 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jsigned (talk • contribs) 10:01, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The photo, a theatrical poster, also remains a film still and can be captioned as such, especially when it's a wikilink, so I don't quite follow your logic. But there also appears to be a confusion of terms. The current B&W photo presented in the infobox is a “theatrical poster”, a "movie poster", as well as a film still photographed on the set of Nights of Cabiria. Editor Jsigned claims “this is what was used as the theatrical poster in Italy”. By this, do you mean that it was used as the theatrical release poster? If so, that’s incorrect. For verification, please consult:

Tornabuoni, Lietta (ed)(1995). Federico Fellini. New York: Rizzoli, 189-192.

Salachas, Gilbert (1977). Federico Fellini. Grenoble: Editions Jacques Glénat, 41.

Moreover, there’s no film title/stars/producers/director printed on the photo. Clearly, it was never used as the movie's theatrical release poster either in Italy or otherwise. In short, the current film still should be used in the body of the article (if copyright permits) and replaced (ideally, and acting on Jsigned's advice) with the official English-language theatrical release poster at, for example: http://www.moviepostershop.com/nights-of-cabiria-movie-poster-1957/AE8010. --Jumbolino (talk) 11:01, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll just replace it with the Italian Style B poster. No biggie. Film Fan (talk) 22:33, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
