Details

• Release Year: 1959
• Genre: Drama, War
• Plot: In a magnetic performance, Vittorio De Sica is Bardone, an opportunistic rascal in wartime Genoa conning his fellow Italians and exploiting their tragedies by promising to help find their missing loved ones in exchange for money. But when the Nazis force him to impersonate a dead partisan general in prison to extract information from fellow inmates, Bardone finds himself wrestling with his conscience for the first time. Roberto Rossellini's gripping drama, a rare box-office breakthrough for the legendary neorealist, is further evidence of the compassionate artistry of one of cinema's most important voices.
