  • "Relata las angustias de un niño de 4 años, Prico, después de que su madre, Nina, abandone a su padre, Andrea, para marcharse con su amante Roberto. Prico es enviado a vivir con su tía y más tarde con su abuela. Cuando un día Prico cae enfermo, Nina vuelve a su lado prometiendole que dejara a Roberto."
  • "Shows a couple who were having problems with their marriage and how their son was affected by the actions of the parents."
  • "This initial collaboration between De Sica and Zavattini took novelettish material about an adulterous affair which leads to the disintegration of a family and presented it through the eyes of a young boy trapped within a conflict of loyalties. The emptiness of adult lives filtered through a child's consciousness is the basis of implied social critique which was at variance with the official fascist line."
  • "This was the first of many of De Sica's collaborations with renowned screenwriter Cesare Zavattini. Heralding the pair's subsequent work on some of the masterpieces of Italian neorealism, The Children Are Watching Us, is a vivid, portrait of a family's disintegration. The wife of a bank clerk, bored with family life, runs off with her lover. The story is told from the perspective of Prico, an only child who revels in the adoration of his parents. While on a walk in the park, Prico watches his mother slip behind a tree and talk to a strange man. The boy has no idea who this man is, but he immediately intuits that this stranger will soon disrupt his little universe. The next day his mother elopes with her lover. Weeks later, after having had second thoughts, she returns and is forgiven by her husband, but when she leaves a second time, her husband commits suicide. Pico, who has been a silent witness to these events is sent to boarding school and withdraws from his mother, whom he blames for the destruction of his family. The film is considered to be a masterful portrait of an Italian family during the war and one of the best of several collaborations between Zavattini and De Sica. Zavattini was one of the most prolific script writers of the Italian cinema. He spent the postwar years working with De Sica on what are now considered to be the milestones of Italian neorealist cinema."
  • "A young boy is abandoned to an orphanage when his mother divorces his father, who then commits suicide."
  • "A four-year-old boy is trapped in a loveless family with his suicidal father and his adulteress mother."
