Scene from Bicycle Thieves, the 1948 Italian movie starring Lamberto Maggiorani (1909-1983) and Enzo Staiola (1939-2025).

Maggiorani is a dad with a new job in postwar Rome, that requires a bicycle, and Staiola portrays his son. Optimism over their family's future quickly fades, when the bike is stolen.

Bicycle Thieves won an honorary Oscar.
