directed by Giuseppe De Santis. Italy, 1948, 109 min.

A thief on the run hides among the rice-pickers in the paddies and seduces an innocent young girl. A milestone in movie history, this film combines abhorrence over the exploitation of peasants with the intrigue of a noir bursting with eroticism, raising Silvana Mangano to the rank of a star of the first order and an icon of vibrant sensuality.
