mr6666 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 sounds good, anyone seen it?? 7:30 am ET 88 min drama Umberto D. (1952) A retiree copes with the realities of old age. Dir: Vittorio De Sica Cast: Carlo Battisti , Maria Pia Casilio , Lina Gennari . LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW: D: Vittorio De Sica. Carlo Battisti, Maria Pia Casilio, Lina Gennari. "Ex-bureaucrat on a meager fixed pension is about to be forced out into Rome streets with only his beloved mongrel to comfort him. De Sica is said to have considered this his greatest work, and he may have been right; subplot about Battisti's relationship with an unmarried, pregnant woman is as touching as predominant storyline. Shattering, all the way up to the tear-jerking conclusion." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougieB Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 It's devastating, but simply and beautifully told. It's agony for dog lovers but it's ultimately uplifting and life-affirming. I'd say it's a must-see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
