Toby Dammit by Fellini 1968


This is such a cool short film by Fellini.


Terence Stamp does a yeoman's job of playing a disillusioned actor who is struggling with alcoholism and, apparently, slowly going insane.

I saw this film at an Experimental Film Coalition screening at the Randolph Street Gallery (the devil's playground).  From what I remember, Toby Dammit takes a role in a spaghetti western being funded by the Vatican.  He clearly doesn't care about acting or the film industry anymore but is having a hard time transitioning to something else.  There's a surprise ending to the film.  The subtitle that I remember for this film is: Never Bet the Devil Your Head.
