So what's the best reverb for playing back the sound
of a tree falling in the forest?
Which reminds me of "Bicycle Thieves". Virtually the entire
soundtrack is looped -- in an essentially dead studio. It drives
me crazy.
If you mean "The Bicycle Thief," that is done deliberately to
make it like a 1950s Italian film. It was standard practice
back then to film MOS...
"Mit out sound", for those who are unfamiliar.
...and dub, since it would regularly be dubbed into multiple
languages, anyway.
Actually, the correct title is "Bicycle Thieves". I don't like it, because
it misses the irony of the "original" English title.

There is also a parody I've never seen, "The Icicle Thief".
