Taken for granted by her Catholic Italian family, innocent Macy’s salesgirl Angie Rossini (Natalie Wood) seeks solace in the arms of a charming and footloose jazz musician, Rocky Papasano (Steve McQueen). She becomes pregnant and doesn’t expect Rocky to marry her; she just needs his help to raise the money for an illegal abortion, while her family pressures her to marry gormless Anthony Columbo (Tom Bosley). Nominated for 5 Academy Awards®.
