Notes: ~ "Who can forget the impact of 'La Strata' and the haunting theme that served as an identifying melody for the character portrayed by Giulietta Masina? The music, by Nino Rota, was a perfect complement to the Federico Fellini film, one of the first to make an impression. Rota, who also scored Fellini's 'La Dolce Vita,' 'Nights of Cabiria,' 'The White Sheik,' and 'Vitelloni,' has written all kinds of music, from pop songs to symphonies, to grand opera. But his film music is very special. Don Raye supplied the English lyrics to Rota's theme. His credits include such varied songs as 'Mr. Five by Five,' 'I'll Remember April,' and 'Domino.' "
