Leírás: The programme for the Tower Film Club, a division of the Greek Film Archive Foundation includes the acting credits of Vittorio De Sica's film "The Bicycle Thief". The note begins with an extract from a study by scriptwriter Gavatini, De Sica's life-long associate and the main theoretician and apologist of the neorealist movement. It points out that "The Bicycle Thief" has gone down in the history of the cinema as the film "in the purest spirit" of this movement. Ricci, the hero, loses his bicycle. He goes out looking for it, but ends up probing deep into his inner self in search of his lost identity in post-war Italy, where people balance precariously on tip-toe across the devastated landscape of their soul. He becomes the symbol of an era where confusion and uncertainty are the norm; he is keen on establishing a rapport with other people, but his plans fall through and ends up in isolation. The allegory and symbolism in the film earned it timelessness and universality, while some 117 critics who met in Brussels in 1958 termed it the second most important production in the film genre.
