What a sweet little film this is! De Sica and Franca look great together as a young working class boy and girl who are essentially good at heart. Their romance is full of sweet wooing, making each other jealous and some silly misunderstandings; yet they are so head over heal in love with each other that they cannot bear see the other depressed for too long. At the same time, this is no escapist film in that the importance of a job to make a living never gets totally neglected (though there are some comic moments of recklessness from DeSica) in the course of their love for each other. The finale with the father of the girl is an icing on the cake. Perhaps the best romantic comedy I have seen so far.
