All I've got to say here - I assume everyone's familiar with the director - is that there's a great deal more than just BICYCLE THIEVES and UMBERTO D., both before and after. As happened with Chaplin, there was a backlash against De Sica after his huge popularity, and he's now often denigrated by critics in order to champion a more analytical director (Keaton in Chaplin's case, Rossellini in De Sica's). But I live in a world where I can like all these guys and sleep just fine.

Particularly: THE CONDEMNED OF ALTONA, a film of Sartre's play; IL TETTO, the last gasp of Neorealism, THE CHILDREN ARE WATCHING US, one of the precursors to Neorealism, and the lovely late film A BRIEF VACATION.
