International Film Series: The Orange Thief

Living on the outer boundaries of society, the eponymous orange thief and some other country-wise ruffians steal fruit for sustenance, sale, and the sheer excitement of courting danger. After the thief ends up in a Sicilian jail, his life takes an unexpected turn when his bunkmate, Turrido, promises him a deal: get Turrido’s ex-lover Rosalba to make a recording of her singing and he will give the thief a piece of land of his own. The film garnered acclaim for being written and shot in one month by a group of American and Italian actors. Co-Sponsored by the Italo-American Club.
