Review by Library Journal Review

Before the word Felliniesque came to represent his later surrealistic excesses, virtuoso director Federico Fellini defined the term with this whimsical yet ultimately heartbreaking tale of a brutish strongman (Anthony Quinn) who "buys" a slow-witted waif (Giuletta Masina) as a clown for his traveling act-until her infatuation with a high-wire performer (Richard Baseheart) trips things up. With nearly pristine picture and sound, the requisite scholarly commentary, an autobiographical documentary, and an introduction by Martin Scorsese, this double-disc release is recommended for all serious collections.
