The Voyage was the final film for director Vittorio de Sica, and the days of his classic The Bicycle Thieves were long behind him. When the Braggi family patriarch dies, his will dictates that the family orange business is to be shared between the two sons: Antonio (Ian Bannen) and Cesare (Richard Burton). There is another codicil – Antonio is to ask for the hand in marriage of Adriana De Mauro (Sophia Loren). Unfortunately Adriana is in love with Cesare. She agrees to the marriage to save her mother from destitution and Cesare leaves the village, heartbroken. The starry cast here (Sophia Loren and Richard Burton) demonstrates that De Sica's days as neo-realist Master are very distant, but all three are professionals, and their work is always of interest. < less
