FEDERICO FELLINI-SEARCHING FOR FACES/4

The professor: In the script I wrote that he is a stout, solemn and kindly character, prone to sudden scowls, glowering and severe glances. Who may I suggest? Do you remember the famous Raimu? That is the type of person I’m looking for. When I was looking for actors to play in Casanova, I saw a certain Jean-Roger Caussimon. How old is he now? May I have other photographs of him?

The oboist: that is, the man who wants to try out a burial niche before buying it. I have described him as a small man long in the tooth, with a sharp and malicious expression. He has a self-satisfied, provoking air, as if he wants to challenge somebody to say something critical regarding his decision to remain stuck in there. I have some names that I would like more information on and photographs of: Pierre Julien and Christian Pereira.
