World Cinema: The Mind of the Child: The Children are Watching Us

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A season of films showing the adult world from the child's point of view.
Tonight The Children are Watching Us
Starring Luciano de Ambrosis as Prico with Emilio Cigoli, Isa Pola.

Four-year-old Prico witnesses his mother's infidelity and watches with uncomprehending eyes the gradual collapse of his parents' marriage.
This early film of Vittorio De Sica, rarely seen in Britain and largely overshadowed by Bicycle Thieves and Umberto D, is itself a minor masterpiece and marked a turning point in the great Italian director's career.
