Review of Umberto D. (1952) by Will G — 05 Oct 2007
You could call this lovely realist masterpiece by Vittorio de Sica a kind of artsy Harry & Tonto. An aging man, barely scraping by on his pension, faces being thrown out when he gets too far behind on his rent.
The one thing that keeps him going is the love of his scruffy mutt, Flike. Beautifully restored, and genuinely moving, especially in the film's final scenes.
