Tomorrow on TCM:


This next must-see TCM film recommendation is Italian director Vittorio De Sica's neo-realist masterpiece Bicycle Thieves (Ladri di biciclette), one of the most emotionally devastating films of all time (See: Top Ten: World Cinema Treasures). No amount of superlatives can possibly describe the spiritual rewards one gleans from witnessing this simple but profound odyssey taken by a father and his dutifully loving son while desperately searching for a stolen bicycle. See this masterpiece on TCM Friday, March 6th at 9:15 am PST.
