Baker Talks at Health Assembly 1 Bicycle Thief,' Italian Film Classic, Offered Nov. 25 by Language Dept. The Foreign Language Depart¬ ment will show Vittorio De Sica’s "The Bicycle Thief,” Italy’s post¬ war film classic, November 25, in Sexson Auditorium. Admission is free. The film deals with a man who gets a job pasting movie posters on the walls of Rome. Someone steals the bicycle he needs for his work. With his little son he searches for the bike, through a city overrun with them. The bi¬ cycle is his sole means for work and self-respect for his family. Out of his desperate search and the pathetic tale of daily life, di¬ rector De Sica produced what Life Magazine considered “the most af¬ fecting movie in many years.” To play the father, the director found a metal-worker named Lamberto Maggiorani, whose har¬ assed face expressed the helpless fury of a man lost in a world too complex for him. For the raga¬ muffin son, he found seven-year- old Enzo Stiola and gained from him an "excellent” performance. Excerpts from several reviews of the film follow: Vogue: "Best film in 30 years." National Board of Review: "Best movie of the year.” New York Times: “ ‘The Bicycle Thief' is as full and electric and compelling as any plot-laden dra¬ ma you ever saw. It should fill you with warmth and compassion . . . bids fair to fulfill all the fore¬ casts of its absolute triumph over here.” Sol R. Baker, MD, will discuss "Health Quackery” at this semes¬ ter’s health education assembly next Tuesday at noon in Sexson Auditorium. Counseling Dept.
