English-language version coming soon to Loew’s and other neighborhood theatres…"La Strada" had just entered its second year at the Trans-Lux 52nd, so this was not a birthday as ad claimed. First released in Italy in 1954, the B&W feature had played extensively in Europe before the USA in July, 1956, and won its ‘Oscar’ for best foreign-language feature at the March, 1957 ceremonies.

Both Anthony Quinn and Richard Basehart spoke English during the making of the film and dubbed their own voices in the English-language version. In the Italian version their voices were supplied by professional Italian dubbers.
