Federico Fellini's Oscar-winning study of members of a travelling circus troupe stars Anthony Quinn as strongman Zampanò, and Giulietta Masina as Gelsomina, the young woman sold to him by her mother. The physical and emotional abuse Gelsomina suffers at the hands of the brutal Zampanò forces her to find solace with a good-hearted clown (Richard Basehart), leading to a devastating tragedy. With Aldo Silvani, Marcella Rovere, Livia Venturini. 108 min. Standard; Soundtracks: Italian Uncompressed PCM mono, English; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; documentaries; theatrical trailer; essay; more. In Italian with English subtitles/Dubbed in English.

Gelsomina is sold for a few coins by her very poor mother to Zampano, a fairground wrestler. She follows him on the road and helps him during his shows. Zampano illtreats 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.
