Il Grido

Aldo (Steve Cochran), a sugar-refinery worker in Northern Italy, wants only to go on being with Irma (Alida Valli), the woman he has lived with for years, and when she refuses him he takes his young daughter and sets out on the road. Michelangelo Antonioni sends him past other women, Virginia (Dorian Gray) and Andreina (Jacqueline Jones) among them. Each offers him a life close to the one Irma did, and Aldo keeps measuring them all against her.
