**Screenwriters**: Federico Fellini, Ennio Flaiano, Tullio Pinelli, Carlo Ponti **Producer**: Dino De Laurentiis The circus is in town, and with the legendary Federico Fellini helming the big top with the extraordinary Giulietta Masina at center stage, you know you’re in for a magnificent show! Maestro Federico Fellini’s *La Strada *launched both him and his luminous wife Giulietta Masina to international stardom. Gelsomina (Masina) is sold by her mother into the employ of Zampanò (Anthony Quinn), a brutal strongman in a traveling circus. When Zampanò encounters an old rival in highwire artist the Fool (Richard Basehart), his fury is provoked to its breaking point. With *La Strada* Fellini left behind the familiar signposts of Italian neorealism for a poetic fable of love and cruelty, evoking brilliant performances and winning the hearts of audiences and critics worldwide. A phenomenal early work from one of Italy and the world’s greatest masters of cinema. *Restored by the Criterion Collection in collaboration with The Film Foundation and the Cineteca di Bologna.
