The Bicycle Thief
Vittorio de Sica's film is a classic from the post World War II Italian
Neorealist cinema. A simply and beautifully told story about the attempts
of Antonio (Lamberto Maggiorani)--a penniless bicycle messenger--to
find his stolen bicycle, which was his only way of providing for his
family. The resulting journey, taken with his son Bruno (Enzo Staiola)
explores the turbulent world of post war Italy.
