Umberto D DVD, 1952Availability Delivery Returns Policy
MovieMail's ReviewSimple, honest and devastating, de Sica's Umberto D is one of the most moving and unsentimental portrayals of attachment, dignity and suffering ever made. Filmed in Rome entirely without professional actors the story is of retired civil servant Umberto, struggling to survive on his dwindling pension. With his only companion his loyal dog Flag, he faces eviction from his home by his tyrannical landlady who rents out his room to couples when he is away. His desperate, failed attempts to raise money lead him to contemplate suicide but he realises that he first must get rid of his dog.
