Умберто Д. (1952) е дело на Виторио де Сика - един от най-големите италиански актьори и режисьори, изградил над 50-годишна филмова кариера. Де Сика е деен участник във формирането и реализирането на Неореализма в италианското кино. Красноречив пример са филмите му, а киноманите у нас ще могат да гледат "Умберто Д.". Сценарият разказва за Умберто Доменико Ферари - пенсиониран държавен служител, който е в постоянно противоречие с хазяйката си и в безкрайно безпаричие. Единствените му приятели са бременната му прислужница и кучето му Флик. Доказателства, че "Умберто Д." е наистина впечатляващ филм са номинацията за "Оскар" за сценария на Чезаре Дзаватини и номинацията за Голямата награда на фестивала в Кан.
