Il grido (English: "The Cry", initially released as The Outcry in the US[2]) is a 1957 road drama film directed by Michelangelo Antonioni and starring Steve Cochran, Alida Valli, Dorian Gray, Gabriella Pallotta and Betsy Blair.[3][4]

An Italian and American co-production,[5] the film premiered at the 1957 Locarno Film Festival, where it won the Golden Leopard.[6] In 2008, the film was included on the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage’s 100 Italian films to be saved, a list of 100 films that "have changed the collective memory of the country between 1942 and 1978."[7]
