FILM/SNEAK PEEK : MARCELLO MASTROIANNO RETROSPECTIVE SHOWING AT COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART.

Marcello Mastroianni. Just saying the name is fun. Marcello Mastroianni. So Italian. So romantic. So manly.

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art Film Department will honor the late actor and international star on three upcoming weekends with ``Arrividerci Marcello,'' a retrospective of his work.

Mastroianni died Dec. 29, 1996, at age 72 following a bout with pancreatic cancer. During his career, he made more than 120 films, many with director Federico Fellini, who often praised the actor's instinctive performances and lack of vanity.

Although he never won an Oscar, Mastroianni was nominated several times: For ``Divorce, Italian Style'' (1961), ``A Special Day'' (1977) and ``Dark Eyes.'' He also won the Cannes Best Actor Award for ``Dark Eyes.''

The LACMA schedule is as follows:

May 30: ``A Special Day,'' co-starring Sophia Loren, and ``The Organizer,'' directed by Mario Monicelli.

May 31: ``La Dolce Vita,'' directed by Fellini and co-starring Anita Ekberg and Anouk Aimee.

June 6: ``La Grande Bouffe,'' directed by Marco Ferreri, and ``Il Bell'Antonio,'' co-starring Claudia Cardinale.

June 7: ``8-1/2,'' directed by Fellini, co-starring Cardinale, Aimee and Sandra Milo.

June 13: ``Divorce, Italian Style,'' directed by Pietro Germi, and ``Dark Eyes,'' directed by Nikita Mikhalkov.

June 14: ``City of Women,'' directed by Fellini.

All shows are at 7:30 p.m. in the museum's Bing Theater. Tickets are $6; $4 for museum members, AFI members and students with valid ID. Call [phone] or Ticketmaster at [phone].

History revisted

``Nuremberg,'' a documentary about the Nuremberg Nazi trials that was made from more than 1 million feet of film shot during the actual 1945 court hearings, will be shown at 7 p.m. June 2, at the Museum of Tolerance Simon Wiesenthal Center. The screening is free.

A panel discussion with Erik Barnouw, a scholar of documentary film history and a Columbia University professor emeritus, will follow the movie.

``Nuremberg'' is directed by Pare Lorentz, an American documentarian who filmed the trials under a mandate from the Allied commander in charge of occupied Germany. The idea was to edit the material into a narrative showing the rise and fall of Hitler's Third Reich.

Upon completion, the film played to packed houses in the American and British sectors of occupied Germany. But here in the United States, it was simply stored in the National Archives.

With the intervention of first lady Jackie Kennedy in 1960, Lorentz was allowed to recut the film for broadcast on public television. It is that print that will be shown.

Reservations are required. Call [phone], Ext. 9.
