Movie description:
This film was shown, badly dubbed in English, on U.S. television under the title »The Five Angels«. It is about five little boys, war orphans living in a cellar, who survive by their wits in post-war Italy and find one day a German cache of money. They make the mistake of entrusting it to an adult, whom they presume is a friend but is really a thief, spends much of it and wants to take the whole amount. This is in spite some genuine fondness for the boys. Later the kids get tired of living the »dolce vita« and start giving the money away to other needy children and buying then gifts. Jacques Sernas plays the greedy adult friend Mario and Rossana Podesta’ is a sympathetic lady of the neighborhood whom the thief falls for. When Mario is sent to jail for a short time for previous thefts, the boys decide to give away their money to the church. The kids and their naive and sometimes goony antics are a delight to watch and they were well selected by director Carlo Borghesio.Boy Actors
