Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Ronald Bergan

Probably the best of the four spiritual melodramas Ingrid Bergman made with her husband Roberto Rossellini, it gave the Swedish star more of a chance to show her beauty and range than the others. Bergman plays a superficial American society woman living in Rome who believes she is the cause of her young son's suicide. She seeks salvation by tending the poor and the sick, much to the incomprehension of her bourgeois husband (Alexander Knox). Giulietta Masina, in one of her rare non-Fellini roles, plays a factory girl whom Bergman rescues. Naive though some of the film is, Rossellini's unfussy direction creates a genuine feeling of spirituality.
