BEFORE THE late Federico Fellini's more-famous movies about big-breasted whores, stern nuns and womanizing artists was a charming, black-and-white gem called "La Strada."

A deceptively simple and poetic parable, Federico Fellini's "La Strada" was the focus of a critical debate when it premiered in 1954 simply because it marked Fellini's break with neorealism - the hard-knocks school that had dominated Italy's postwar cinema. "{Neorealism should embrace}...
