Umberto D. is a 1952 Italian neorealist film, directed by Vittorio de Sica. Most of the actors were non-professional, including Carlo Battisti, who plays the title role. It tells the story of Umberto Domenico Ferrari (Carlo Battisti), an old man in Rome who is desperately trying to keep his room on a small state pension, but whose landlady (Lina Gennari) is expecting to drive him out to fit her social lifestyle. He tries to find the money but is unable to beg to his richer friends, and cannot be helped by his only true friends, a maid (Maria-Pia Casilio) and his dog, Flike (called 'Flag' in some subtitled versions of the film). The movie was in the "Time Magazine's All-Time 100 Movies" in 2005.
