Release Anniversary: I bambini ci guardano — December 1, 1943

01 December 2026

I bambini ci guardano was completed in the spring of 1943 and is the film in which Vittorio De Sica, writing with Cesare Zavattini, stops being a comic actor who directs. The partnership begun here produced Sciuscià, Ladri di biciclette, Miracolo a Milano and Umberto D.

A note on this date. il film è datato 1943 dagli stessi registri che citiamo nell'articolo (completato in primavera), ma né il giorno né il mese di uscita nelle sale sono confermati da una fonte affidabile: le recensioni di stampa trovate sono del novembre 1944, la distribuzione bellica fu discontinua. Qui la data resta convenzionalmente fissata al 1° dicembre 1943; se avete un programma di sala o una recensione con data precisa, scrivete a Sofia We publish it with the warning rather than leave the page out, and if you know the exact day — a programme, a censorship record, a newspaper listing — write to Sofia and we will confirm or correct it.
