It’s good to know that true artists like De Sica exist, as only a true artist would have turned down Hollywood money and Cary Grant in order to pursue his true vision for a seminal work of Italian cinema, BICYCLE THIEVES. We all love us some Cary Grant, but that movie wouldn’t be the important film that it is without a cast of unknowns. The effects of the films made by guys like De Sica and Roberto Rosselini are still being felt in cinema today, making this one essential viewing.
