Find perfect of Roberto Rosselini and Vittorio de Sica, 25 March 2009
8/10
Author: psagray from Spain

Bertone, criminal and swindler of little importance in the Genoa city of 1943, accepts the assignment of Nazis to make to him passes by an unruly general, to identify to the chiefs of the resistance. The character of Bertone, wastes sympathy and amiability with all that go by a roundabout way you, included his own victims. It is the rogue with extraordinary elegance, a facet that interprets Vittorio de Sica with true mastery. The scenes and situations they appear in a few stages with excellent characters, cause a change in the person of the protagonist, and this is the center of the film. Magnificent film of Roberto Rosselini
