The use of directly-recorded sound, authentic patois, lack of make-up, a large ensemble cast of localcitizens in supporting roles, and Renoir’s steadfast desire to avoid melodrama lead to Toni often beinglabeled “the first neorealist film”. Renoir himself disagreed. Although Toni is acknowledged as a masterlyforerunner of neo-realist preoccupations and techniques he wrote: “I do not think that is quite correct.The Italian films are magnificent dramatic productions, whereas in Toni I was at pains to avoid the dramatic.”
