According to the author the arrival of the motion picture director Federico Fellini's "La Strada," is going to start tongues wagging in film-society circles, and there will be rejoicing at this evidence that the neo-realist school of Italian film makers is still fruitful. Any true movie is apt to have this quality, but people do not see many true movies. What they see for the most part are film versions of work done for other purposes and translated to the screen by teams of skilled technicians. "La Strada," by contrast, is pure movie, it could not be done in any other form. It is not plotted like a book or a play, it moves instead along a narrative stream.
