Federico Fellini collabora alla sceneggiatura. Nomination Oscar 1946 per la miglior sceneggiatura originale (Federico Fellini e Sergio Amidei)

Nella Roma occupata dai nazisti si dipanano le vicende di Pina e Francesco, un tipografo che lavora nella clandestinità; Manfredi, un capo della Resistenza romana; don Pietro, il parroco di quartiere, che accetta un rischioso incarico. Pina sarà falciata sull'asfalto mentre tenta di raggiungere il camion con il quale viene portato via il suo uomo; Manfredi, arrestato, morirà sotto tortura e don Pietro fucilato.
