Description 1 online resource (1 video file, approximately 88 min.) : sound, black and white Summary This neorealist masterpiece follows Umberto D., an elderly pensioner, as he struggles to make ends meet during Italy's postwar economic boom. Alone, except for his dog, Flike, Umberto strives to maintain his dignity while trying to survive in a city where traditional human kindness seems to have lost out to the forces of modernization. His simple quest to satisfy his basic needs--food, shelter, companionship--makes for one of the most heartbreaking stories ever filmed, and an essential classic of world cinema Notes Title from title frames Event Originally produced by Dear Film Produzione in 1952 Notes In Italian with English subtitles Subject Poverty -- Sociological aspects -- Drama Economics -- Sociological aspects -- Drama Civil service pensioners -- Italy -- Drama Dignity -- Drama Feature films -- Italy -- Economic conditions -- 20th century Feature films -- Italy -- History -- 1945-1976 Economics -- Sociological aspects.
