Masina plays Gelsomina, a naïve woman sold by her desperate mother to strongman Zampanò (a charismatic Anthony Quinn) to be both his wife and performance assistant as he tours Italy. Zampanò - a brute by trade and by nature - abuses Gel-somina as she struggles to learn the ropes; meanwhile, she finds a kindred spirit in his rival the Fool (Richard Basehart). La Strada is now out on DVD.
