Note that the Italian title literally translates to "The Bicycle Thieves", but for unknown reasons, the movie became "The Bicycle Thief" when it was released in English-speaking countries! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we can't say that this one-sheet (which was printed in the United States for use at theaters with Spanish speaking audiences) is from the first U.S. release in 1949, but we think it is quite possible that it is. If it is not, it would surely be from the 1950s or early 1960s, because we would be very surprised if it was from the 1970s or later. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept the uncertainty as to exactly when it is from. Condition: poor to fair. The poster is riddled with tiny circular areas of paper loss (see our image). The poster is in urgent need of restoration, and certainly a competent restorer could repair the defects described above, but please bear in mind the cost of restoration before placing a bid.
