About this product

Product Information

Zampano (Anthony Quinn), a performer in a traveling carnival outside of Rome, purchases the young, poor Gelsomina (Giulietta Masina) to be his wife and assistant. Although she shows genuine enthusiasm as an assistant, putting on a fabulous clown act akin to Charlie Chaplin, nobody seems to appreciate her; she quietly endures a life of emotional coldness and cruelty. When she meets "The Fool," Ilmatto (Richard Basehart), a quicksilver trapeze artist who befriends her and offers her warmth, kindness, and an uplifting vision of the world, Gelsomina convinces herself that she and Zampano are in love. She is plunged into despair, however, after Zampano interferes in a jealous rage, precipitating a tragedy that will haunt him forever. Federico Fellini establishes a style and certain key themes in this film that he repeats as trademarks in subsequent films: the beach as a symbol of purity and release; haunting, soft female singing as a symbol of memory; examinations of Catholics and their religion as a cult behavior; and, above all, a chaotic, circus-oriented cyclical pattern that guides his films. The Oscar-winning LA STRADA is the perfect place from which to begin an exploration of Fellini's expertly crafted movies.

    This item was mis-directed by the PO, no fault of the seller...This seller is outstanding!! He helped by going to the PO to find out where is was at that time, updated me & we waited for the post office to finally get it to me. This seller went above & beyond and would definitely order from him again without question! Can't wait to watch the DVD... Haven't seen "Just Visiting" in about 20+ years & this copy is pristine, like new! He had the best price & acceptable shipping fees. BEST seller!!

  • It's a masterpiece among the worlds greatest movies.

    My favorite Anthony Quinn movie of all time. What a story. I even get tear eyed just watching the trailer. Giulietta Masina just makes the character Gelsomina of this story. She is a genius. Richard Basehart plays the tightwire walking 'fool, this is also Basehart's best movie. A must watch if you've never seen it or need to watch it again. The story, filming and scenes are the best. Federico Fellini directed it and even co wrote the story. He too is genius. I highly recommend this movie!!! I had to finally add it to my collection of DVDs.
