1950 Oscar Academy Awards: Best Foreign Film plus many, many more awards.
A masterpiece of Italian filmmaking and a foundation stone of the neorealist film movement, Vittorio De Sica's 'Bicycle Thieves' is a harrowing portrait of loss and depravation in post-war Rome.
Awarded an honorary Oscar for Best Foreign Film, and regularly voted one of the greatest films of all time, 'Bicycle Thieves' is a simple, powerful story of a man's desperate bid to provide for his family.
