Bicycle Thieves
Luigi Bartolini, 1946
movie vs book
Vittorio De Sica, 1948
In the post-World War II Val Melaina neighbourhood of Rome, Antonio Ricci is desperate for work to support his wife Maria, his son Bruno and his small baby. Maria resolutely strips the bed of her dowry bedsheets—prized possessions for a poor family—and takes them to the pawn shop, where they bring enough to redeem Antonio’s pawned bicycle.
