Storyline:

A nameless, homeless and rejected man who is looking for a new life and a young boy from an impoverished family, who is forced to steal when he loses the milk money. These two come together in the same hiding place.

User review:

Despite a few effective moments, Muni unaccountably overplays in this film & Losey’s direction is without his usual control and taste. The story, of a drifter in Italy, is incoherent and the characterisation, especially Muni’s role, so scanty that it’s difficult to understand motivation.
