Film 53 "Bicycle Thieves" IMDB No. 88

I mind my own business, I bother nobody, and what do I get? Trouble.


1948 Vittorio De Sica
Story of a young father in post war Italy, he gets a job hanging posters, but must have a bicycle. His bike is in the pawn brokers so they sell their bed sheets to get it back and he starts his job.
The bicylce gets stolen, a lot of the remaining film is Ricci attempting to retrieve the bicycle.
It's a classic and critically acclaimed, I found the music score really annoying, it is basically the same tune over and over at different tempos, you can't get away with that these days.
6/10
