• At the end of the film, when Moraldo is saying good-bye to the young boy from the train, his "Good-by, Guido" is actually the dubbed voice of director, Federico Fellini. It is believed that Fellini did this to emphasize the fact that the film was autobiographical.

• Reportedly said to be Stanley Kubrick's favorite movie.

• For Federico Fellini, vitelloni were "the unemployed of the middle class, mother's pets. They shine during the holiday season, and waiting for it takes up the rest of the year".
