Gurnard Film Society will be screening the 1948 version of BICYCLE THIEVES on Friday 7th February.

The film tells the story of Antonio Ricci, an unemployed man in the depressed post-World War II economy of Italy.

With no money and a wife and two children to support, he is desperate for work. He is delighted to at last get a good job hanging up posters, but on the sole condition that he has a bicycle which must be used for work.

He is told unequivocally: "No bicycle, no job." His wife Maria pawns their bedsheets in order to get money to redeem his bicycle from the pawnbroker.

Start time for all screenings is 7.30pm
Admission £5.

Please bring your own refreshments (inc. alcoholic drinks)
