4 December 2009. Sunny winter's morning, red-gold leaves mushed in the rain gutters, faces with smiles...
Zampanò e'arrivato...somewhere around 1954, rolling into town on that ancient motorcycle contraption. A touring show--Gelsomina's trumpet-plaint--and her unforgettable upturned eyes, all innocence and doubt...
Chains around his chest, a blanket for a cape, fiece look but strangely delicate shoulders, Anthony Quinn strides out before the crowd. Townsfolk--riffraff and loungers, children, too--until the sound of a car, just off camera, begins to build, gaining speed, and at the moment it passes--paaaaam--the links are parted...
La Strada...
