So, I've been spending some of my copious down time watching classic movies.
I love foreign film, particularly French and Italian film.
I've liked everything I've seen of Vittorio De Sica, with "Shoeshine" being my favorite of his. But I'd never seen his most famous movie and so I watched it a few hours ago. And it just wasn't as compelling to me as his other movies. It was okay and as usual, I really like movies that are on location, particularly older foreign movies because it's about as close to visiting another planet as I'm going to get, different place, different time. And the movie did not disappoint here. Otherwise, it was just a lukewarm experience for me. The little boy was sweet and i loved him. The character of the dad left me cold. He was kind of a jerk. I'd give the movie a 6.5/10.
