After teaching his dog to beg passersby for money, the retired bureaucrat title character of a film by this director contemplates jumping in front of a moving train until his dog whimpers at him. Another film by this director ends with two characters holding hands and walking into the distance as they disappear into a city crowd. In that film by this director, a man cuts in line to speak with a (*) fortune teller and gets caught trying to steal an object outside of a soccer stadium. The central family in that film by this director pawn their bedsheets so that the father can get a job hanging Rita Hayworth posters. With his frequent scriptwriter Cesare Zavattini, this director made Umberto D. and a film in which Antonio and his son Bruno wander around Rome searching for a stolen vehicle. For 10 points, name this Italian neorealist director of Bicycle Thieves.
