Vittorio De Sica is Bardone, an opportunistic rascal in wartime Genoa, conning and cheating his fellow Italians, exploiting their tragedies by promising to help find their missing loved ones in exchange for money. But when the Nazis force him to impersonate a dead partisan general in prison to extract information from fellow inmates, Bardone finds himself wrestling with his conscience for the first time. (official distributor synopsis)

Roberto Rossellini knew how to make movies and is one of the Italian directors whom I genuinely like. I haven't been dissatisfied with any of his films so far, which is pretty good, though admittedly I certainly haven't seen all of them, not even close. But this one has a good story, a good setting, and an interesting resolution that manages to captivate.
