"Post world war 2 , this movie shows a harvest tradition where Italian women flock to the rice fields to help with the harvest. There are plots afoot by unscrupulous men and hopes of adventure and love. Also vestiges of American prosperity and culture to drive dreams of a better life. Natural light makes for interesting filming. "
