Avaliable on: DVD

Roberto Rossellini's 1950 classic of Neo-Realism stars Ingrid Bergman as Karin, a displaced Lithuanian in Italy, who escapes an internment camp by marrying an Italian ex-soldier turned fisherman (Mario Vitale). She soon discovers that his home, the volcanic island of Stromboli, is harsh and barren, and that its traditional and conservative people treat her with hostility. Released at the height of the international scandal surrounding the director's affair with his star, this is the definitive presentation of one of the classics of Italian cinema.
