Every time I watch this movie I'm deeply moved by the many true to life characters you see depicted on the backdrop scenario of the struggle Napoli's citizens suffered to get rid of the Nazis' invasion and occupation.
Many of the characters are not fictitious: the child Gennaro Capuozzo was awarded the Gold Medal for Military Valor.
The cast is exceptional with many great actors and the minor ones act in a perfect way too. Even with the technical limitations of this movie, I find it engrossing and very close to the world famous Italian neorealism masterpieces such as Paisà and Roma Città Aperta.
I highly recommend it.
