Vittorio De Sica-I Bambini ci guardano (1943)

In his first collaboration with renowned screenwriter and longtime partner Cesare Zavattini, Vittorio De Sica examines the cataclysmic consequences of adult folly on an innocent child. Heralding the pair's subsequent work on some of the masterpieces of Italian neorealism, The Children Are Watching Us is a vivid, deeply humane portrait of a family's disintegration. (-DVD cover)

The film follows the anguish of the four-year-old, Prico, after his mother, Nina, leaves his father, Andrea, for her lover Roberto. Prico is sent to his aunt and then to his grandmother. Nina returns when Prico is sick and vows to give up Roberto, even though he persists in seeing her. The family situation gradually improves until they take a holiday on the Italian Riviera. (http://imdb.com/title/tt0034493/plotsummary)

Vittoria De Sica's mastery of neorealism was already well apparent in 1944's The Children Are Watching Us, an excellent, emotionally devastating drama that marked De Sica's first collaboration with renowned screenwriter and longtime partner Cesare Zavattini. While not as well known as De Sica's later masterpieces The Bicycle Thief (1948) and Umberto D. (1952), the film shares many of De Sica's stylistic trademarks, beginning with his exquisite use of real Italian locations in telling the story of Pricò, an observant and inquisitive 4-year-old boy who bears silent witness to his mother's infidelity and the subsequent collapse of his parents' marriage. (www.amazon.com)

De Sica's film is seen almost exclusively through the eyes and perception of this innocent young boy, and the frank treatment of adultery and its effect on Pricò was considered quite shocking for Italian audiences who were emphatically concerned with the sanctity of childhood. What seems dramatically tame by modern standards still retains much of its power, notably due to the remarkable performance of Luciano De Ambrosis, who was barely five years old when the film was shot in the summer of 1942, just before the violence of World War II would erupt all over Italy.

Thank you very much FNB.47 - Everyone knows the Bicyclethief by De Sica, but I have never heard about this one before so I really look forward to watch it.

And another 1,5 Go to DL for nothing!! I'm on Mac and your files are useless, I tried 4 different programs , none could repair your files. You have great taste for movies FNB47, but maybe you could explain us why you're doing such a thing! I'm downloading rar files for years now with my mac in many differents places, and you're the only one who gives us this "corrupt" crap....

For those using Mac's: in this folder you will find the 15 parts of the movie, no password protected, no repair option necessary.

Hey mikka12,
Learn Some Manners!
OBVIOUSLY the 'corrupt crap' as you so eloquently named it, is not something that is done on purpose, therefore you are totally OUT OF ORDER being so insulting.
Were you raised by chimpanzees?

@DrEvil

Thank you for your generosity.

@ FNB47: Thanks for all your De Sicas - much appreciated.
@ DrEvil: many thanks for upping a clean/repaired rip.

Anyone know where I can find one single sub file (instead of 2 separate 'CDs')? I can never understand why people split rips into CD size pieces. No one stores DivX rips on CD anymore (that died out in about 1918 along with wax cylanders). If anyone can point me to a single sub file, please PM me! :)

yes, I also had trouble viewing the film. The second half does not work at all, and I can't learn the end of the story. But I understand this is a technical incident. This must happen from time to time. It a great mistake to get mad at FNB47, who offers us all those wonderful films for free. I wonder if the man who is complaining cares about sharing his own movies and spending a lot of time to upload them ?
Please, FNB47, go on. And many many thanks for this collector's site.
