This film by groundbreaking director Vittorio de Sica ( Bicycle Thieves, Umberto D ) is the story of Giovanni (Alberto Sordi) who lives far beyond his means to provide for his wife’s bodily needs (Gianna Maria Canale). Nearly insolvent and terribly worried at the idea of losing his wife, he thinks of committing suicide when an ad gives him hope again: a rich man offers anyone able to give him one of his eyes a big amount of money.
This film will be screened at the Italian Film Festival in Scotland on April 18th and 24th .
