Vittorio De Sica was perhaps the most prolific and versatile actor and director of Italian cinema. His extraordinary career spanned 50 years, from his days as a young theatre actor, to singer, star of “Telefoni Bianchi” films; the sophisticated protagonist of international cinema; and founder, with Zavattini, Rossellini and Visconti, of Neorealism. Able to traverse the war years, the reconstruction, the boom and the comedies of the 1960s and 70s, De Sica constantly renewed his directing style and continued his extraordinary work as an actor. The true question is: how does one keep from losing one’s way in this ocean? The answer was a search to see what remains, today, of Vittorio De Sica and how much cinema has been able to absorb and use his lesson.
