When the wide-eyed Lina (Giulietta Masina) lands in a women's prison, she meets a world-weary prostitute named Egle (Anna Magnani) who looks out for her. After Egle teaches Lina what she knows and begins to harden the girl, Lina commits another crime on the outside and winds up back in jail, a shell of her former self. Egle, meanwhile, who had taken a genuine liking to Lina, has tried to better herself and is shocked to see what has become of -- and what she's done to -- her former protégé.

Observer (UK)

Both [stars] are acting at the top of their bents, but the bents are so different and the mood of self-conscious suspicion so overpowering that they have turned one another's performance into something verging on parody.
