July 6-7 Miracle in Milan

Italian, Satire, Comedy, Drama, Fantasy 1951 Not Rated 1h 37m

Once upon a time in postwar Italy. Vittorio De Sica’s follow-up to his international triumph Bicycle Thieves is an enchanting neorealist fairy tale in which he combined his celebrated slice-of-life poetry with flights of graceful comedy and storybook fantasy. On the outskirts of Milan, a band of vagabonds work together to form a shantytown. When it is discovered that the land they occupy contains oil, however, it’s up to the cherubic orphan Totò (Francesco Golisano)—with some divine help—to save their community from greedy developers. Tipping their hats to the imaginative whimsy of Charles Chaplin and René Clair, De Sica and screenwriter Cesare Zavattini (adapting his own novel) craft a big-hearted ode to the nobility of everyday people. Director: Vittorio De Sica Writers: Cesare Zavattini, Vittorio De Sica, Suso Cecchi D’Amico Producer: Vittorio De Sica Stars: Emma Gramatica, Francesco Golisano, Paolo Stoppa Restored from the original camera negative by Cineteca di Bologna and Compass Film, in collaboration with Mediaset, Infinity, Arthur Cohn and Variety Communications at L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory.
