Nights of Cabiria (1957 - Italian)

This morning I watched Fellini's Nights of Cabiria (1957). It's now one of my favorite Fellinis. His wife Giulietta Masina(always good) is wonderful as Cabiria, a Prostitute who Dreams of a Better Life but always seems to fall short, but who still has a smile for the final shot. When it looks like she's found Happiness, somehow you know Something Heartbreaking is going to happen. Has some of the usual Fellini Touches, such as Nino Rota's great music. If you've never seen Fellini, you might start with this one. A Wonderful Experience.
