An American adolescent (Dennis Christopher) dreams of being an Italian cyclist.
Reviewed by Chris Tookey


This jolly, warm-hearted picture has a tendency to ramble. But it rightly won critical acclaim and a big audience for its youthful cast, stirring story of an underdog, and honest picture of class conflict in small-town America.
