Joe Dolce Joe Dolce is an American-born, Australian-resident singer/songwriter of Italian ancestry who achieved fame with the song "Shaddap You Face", recorded under the name Joe Dolce Music Theatre. (references)
Joe Dolce Music Theatre Joe Dolce Music Theatre was the vehicle for Italian-Australian-American-born comic singer Joe Dolce. Dolce recorded the hit Shaddap You Face in 1981. The song was full of broad ethnic humour and included the chorus "Whassamatta you, ey?/Gotta no respect/Whaddaya think you do, ey?/Why you looka so sad?/It'sa not so bad, ey/It'sa nice-a place/Ah shaddap you face". It reached number 1 in the UK Singles Chart on February 15, 1981 and stayed there for 3 weeks until March 8, 1981. It was also Number 1 in 15 countries with over 35 different foreign language cover versions. It has remained the most successful song in Australian music history for 25 years. Dolce received the Advance Australia Award in 1981. (references)
La Dolce Vita La Dolce Vita (1960) is a film directed by Federico Fellini. Usually cited as the film that signals the split between his earlier neo-realist films and his later symbolist period. Lacking traditional plot structure, the film is a series of nights and mornings along the Via Veneto in Rome as seen through the eyes of its main character, a jaded society reporter named Marcello (played by Marcello Mastroianni). Marcello is a man who commits to nothing, as in his dealings with his simple, jealous lover (Yvonne Furneaux), a sophisticated woman (Anouk Aimée) with whom he has an episodic relationship, a beautiful bombshell (Anita Ekberg) whom he follows in her wanderings through Rome (including the notable scene of her night bath in the Fontana di Trevi), and a multitude of other characters that inhabit the Via Veneto. Marcello wants to quit his job as a gossip columnist and become a novelist, but he never seems to be able to concentrate long enough to make any progress on his serious writings. (references)
