This drama did not engage me as much as De Sica's Bicycle Thieves. The neorealist practice of using nonprofessional actors works well enough, but many of the characters are not as distinctly drawn. Pasquale and Giuseppe work shining shoes for the lingering G.I.s in order to buy a horse. They get mixed up with Giuseppe's older brother's gang and end up in a juvenile prison. In an interesting twist of the teen crime drama norm, the younger Giuseppe, who has family, is the more hard-nosed one, while the older Pasquale, who is an orphan, is more innocent to the ways of prison. Tragically, trying to do the right thing leads Pasquale to betray Giuseppe's trust. They both encounter complications adjusting to life in prison, but ultimately their friendship is torn apart. This Italian film does not have a happy ending.

Can't believe I'd never seen this before, but there it is. Not quite as good as Bicycle Thieves or Umberto D, but great nonetheless.

Vittorio De Sica's second film was the first major success of the neorealistic movement and the first film to win the Best Foreign Language Oscar.

A true masterpiece. A beautiful story about the friendship between two boys and the betrayals that lead to tragic and devastating consequences. One of the most truly moving films I have ever seen.

Vittorio de Sica's simple masterpiece (in my opine), about two boys and a horse, and not much else--but what a world of joy and heartbreak and tragedy those three elements include!
