Umberto D. (DVD)

Umberto D. (1952) starring Carlo Battisti. An old man in post-war Rome struggles to survive on his small pension. Bankrupt and lonely, he has only his beloved dog and a maid as friends. Could have been titled "An Old Man and His Dog." It's a good film, but not very exciting by current Hollywood standards. Directed by Vittorio De Sica. In Italian, with English subtitles. Grade: B+
