Sinekatalog’s take
Pietro Germi's neorealist drama follows a train driver whose demotion after an accident shakes his family life and his bond with his son. Germi himself stars in a warm, moving and plainspoken portrait of the working class.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
