Notes: A beautiful, ambitious young woman joins a traveling troupe of third-rate vaudevillians and inadvertently causes jealousy and emotional crises
The first film directed by the incomparable Federico Fellini. Even at this early stage, he reveals a talent for capturing the colorful world of street artists, with its eccentric and often endearing characters. A motley band of traveling performers takes in a beautiful, unsophisticated woman. But her presence sows confusion and jealousy within the group as she proceeds to seduce, and then abandon, the troupe's strutting, self-confident manager. Yet she has the one thing that most of these inveterate actors do not possess: true talent.
