THE BICYCLE THIEVES (PG)
Origin: Italy
Year: 1949
Running Time: 93 mins

Directors: Vittorio De Sica
Cast: Lamberto Maggiorani, Enzo Staiola

Vittorio De Sica’s masterpiece about a poor young father in postwar Rome who finally finds work putting up Rita Hayworth posters around town, only to have his precious bicycle stolen on the first day of his job. Father (Maggiorani) and son (Staiola), neither professional actors, turn in striking performances as they search for the bike and thief.

The Italian neo-realist film movement was defined by Bicycle Thieves – a political film of some importance in its time as well as a beautifully turned story.
