Filmed just after the Allies liberated Italy from the grip of Fascism, this innovative fusion of documentary and melodrama from director Roberto Rossellini stands as a landmark achievement in the history of film in general, and the development of Italian Neorealism in particular. The actors, except for star Anna Magnani, were all nonprofessionals; the backgrounds were the actual locations; the story — about a wanted Resistance fighter (Marcello Pagliero) who's being sought by the Germans — is altogether gripping.
