Four Yugoslavian women (Silvana Mangano, Barbara Bel Geddes, Jeanne Moreau and Carla Gravina) who've slept with a Nazi officer (Steve Forrest) -- and one woman who's merely accused of doing so (Vera Miles) -- are rounded up by angry villagers, who shave the women's heads and banish them from town in this drama about the horrors of war. The women want to strike back against the Nazis, but the resistance fighters don't welcome their help.
