La Strada
This landmark work continues Fellini's concern with character and environment, focusing on a partnership between brutish circus strongman Zampano (Anthony Quinn) and his naïve companion Gelsomina (Giulietta Masina).

In the interplay between innocence and experience, Gelsomina searches for an individual identity under Zampano's shadow, while they travel and perform in what becomes a basic struggle to exist.

With Richard Baseheart.
