First to recommend

Gelsomina (Giulietta Masina) is sold by her very poor mother to Zampano (Anthony Quinn), an itinerant strongman. She follows him on the road ("la strada") and helps him during his shows. Zampano ill treats her. She meets "The Fool", a funambulist. She feels like going with him, but he puts confusion in her mind by pointing out that perhaps Zampano is in fact in love with her ...

I love Federico Fellini and 'La Strada' is by far one of my favorite movies of his. Giulietta Masina (his real life wife) gives a poignant perfornance as a bubbly and waiflike Gelsomina. A fabulous movie!!
