Review of The Roof

The Roof (1956)
very good, but it was completely forgotten!
1 December 2006
I saw this film a long time ago, but I remember that it left me a deep impression. The film tells the story of the desperate search made by a young couple in an impoverished post-war Italian city for a place to live. This dramatic situation is portrayed with sensibility and tenderness. I was very moved and at the same time I was happy that there were films like this one. There are many other powerful films but this one was completely forgotten. As far as I know, there are no VHS or DVD versions of "Il Tetto". There are no comments about it. Films like "Ladri di Bicicletta", "Umberto D" by Vittorio de Sica have their place in the sun, but this one has sunk into oblivion. Please, release this film on DVD. It really deserves it.
