Customer Reviews of The Bicycle Thief
The Bicycle Thief Italian, black and white. The English is dubbed, and it doesn't match the subtitles. As an added bonus, neither matches the Italian. I cannot believe an Italian actor is yelling in somebody's face, with the full range of body language for which they are so famous, while the translation is "you stupid guy." No, he was unleashing some beautiful profanity. But no matter. This is a wonderful film. Comic and moving, full of depth. It has an Academy Award of some sort on the cover, and I'm sure you can read all kinds of reviews drooling over this classic. (I haven't looked.) But, well, I'm an old redneck. I just thought you might want to know that I like it too. If you get this movie, watch the son. His father isn't. <

Thought-provokingly moving
The Bicycle Thief is a film fully able to contribute its own meaning to the elusive meaning of "art." The acting is superb. Additionally, the scenes of a historic Rome, the despair and economic turmoil, are breathtaking. While dialogue is certainly present in the film, I do not think it is of much relevance. The acting, plot sequencing could serve alone to convey the very, very simple plot of The Bicycle Thief.

Beautiful, heart-rending and gritty!
This a heartrending tale of man in desperation. Filmed in nice crisp black and white, the director used street people to act in his film. This portrayal of one man's bad luck is a lens to view post-war depression in Italy, as well as aspects of Italian culture. A beautiful interesting film--but not for those who are only interested in escape!
