Update of unknown #9

I still haven't found this assumed Italian movie. The pic is a collage to better show the mentioned scene. The boy on the left is from "Non si sevizia un paperino" (Don't Torture a Duckling, 1972). He is similar cool but probably the actual actor has shorter hair and no jacket. Update: I found my original screenshot. See other updates.

Somehow I think the scene might be mainly in blue/green color but maybe I confound it with a different (earlier) French movie. The setting can also be like the pic below (taken from Gli ultimi angeli, 1978). Don't know the location. Is this Monte Sant'Angelo as well?

I tried the same databases where I found the previous unknown movie and briefly quecked all Italian dramas (1960s-2000s), around 700 movies but still no luck. Although I used my VHS recorder up to 2003, I think I had recorded it in the mid 90s and the movie could be made between ~1975-1993. Maybe rural and sea setting and probably set in the presence.

The following movies I have (almost) completetly checked and have either a very similar scene, similar plausible setting or similar actors. Some movies I could only check partly as some parts have been deleted. I will update this regularly.

After having checked most of the Italian movies I started to check other Mediterranean countries starting with Portugal, Spain and Greece. Update: I have almost checked every Italian movies back to the late 70s.

Update: Novecento (1976)

During research for my other unknown movie I have rechecked the complete movie again. Although both main characters are probably younger than the actor in the unknown movie I wasn't sure if there are other kids and there are. At the beginning and end another boy and some kids even in sailor suits in part 1 at the last scenes of their childhood.

One boy in a quite rare brown suit and a dark blue collar with 2 thin white stripes and a white cap and also a boy in a long white sailor suit. The sailor suit scenes with Alfredo are also few and short.

The movie is of course a masterpiece with some very good and funny scenes. I considered buying it on DVD many years ago but I currently prefer other (US) movies.

I have checked hundreds of movies and still haven't found the unknown one. I will upload similar pics and movies next which might help to identify it.

Novecento main entry, rating 8

Unknown movie found!

After checking about 300 movies I have finally found unknown #8, the 80s French comedy film. It's called "Les saisons du plaisir".

Maybe I even have checked all the French comedy movies of the 80s (and started even the late 70s). I feared, that it's not tagged as comedy film (but as crime film) and that it might be a rare TV movie. But it's available on DVD (French language only, no subtitles) I bought. There's also a German VHS.

I first checked French websites and lists but found it via moviepilot.de but indirectly. There you can search movies and choose country, decade and genres. I first found a different 1976 movie and recognized a grown up actor called Roland Blanche. And searching the 80s movie starring him, I finally found it.

The movie is maybe not the best one. And I think few scenes with the boys. And they are quite young.

I also searched for the Italian movie but haven't found it yet. It's probably more difficult as I'm not sure about the year and even not sure if it's Italian (but I think so). Pants don't have bright colors. So could be 70s or even late 60s. I found some very similar actors (but most are darkhaired), some similar settings (also nothing special) and some similar plots. But not that particular one. Some movies aren't online or are partly deleted. And it's sometimes difficult to identify movies by few images or none at all.

Update: Cuore

2 more pics. I don't want to have more than 4 or 5 pics on a single post.

Pic 1 showing some hats. A white sailor's cap and a large straw hat almost like a sombrero. Also a white collar with 2 stripes and matching dickey. Also a large and wide light blue collar also with matching dickey.

Pic 2 showing another angle from a scene from my previous post showing the front of the boy in the light sailor suit and the normal blue collar, also showing his scarf. It also shows the dark blue suit with many thicker stripes and the boy with the complely white collar with a long collar flap.

Most sailor collars are rather short in this series. And all or most sailor suits have long pants.

For other movies with many actors and many different sailor collars or completely white collars or rare, unusual collars see my collar list.

During research for my unknown Italian coming-of-age movie I found this mini series (6 episodes) on YouTube. Unfortunately half of them have been deleted. But still many boys in very interesting sailor suits. I have seen many movies featuring sailor suits but this is maybe the one with the most boys in different sailor suits. Some boys are handsome. Interesting sailor collars. Makes rating 10. I can't show all of them. There are white, light blue, medium blue, dark blue and other sailor collars. With or without stripes, 2, 3 or more stripes. Different styles of suits, collars and dickeys and also caps and straw hats.

Pic 1: note the boy on the right in a completetly white sailor collar without stripes on the right. There are also at least 2 others in white collar with stripes. The boy in the dark blue long suit is the same as on the last pic below. Short white collar flap on the rear with many thicker angled blue stripes. Matching stripes on the dickey.

Pic 2 showing a blue collar with a thicker stripe on the edge and 2 thinner stripes. Pic 3 showing a blue grey combination. Also another boy in an interesting suit and collar. Pic 4 is a white buttoned suit jacket and another rare light blue rectangled collar.

Famous novel "Dagli Appennini alle Ande" by Edmondo De Amicis. English title: Heart. There are around 20 more movies and series about this plot including animated series. I only remember the 1989 series starring Umberto Caglini but have to check the others.

An update with 2 more pics also showing the front of pic 1 and some hats

Story 97: adjusting swim shorts

Again a bit off-topic but tight swim shorts are already historical and mainly worn in the 1980s and 90s. And the scene might be of interest.

I found this on one of my older hard discs searching for more of my unknown movies. Unfortunately I haven't found any more clues or better pics but I'm still searching online.

I haven't found any clips or pics of this one on the web, so I will share this. The scene is from the 2000 German short film "Fast nackt". I had this on VHS but probably not completetly. I think this is the only scene of interest. The main plot is about grown-ups.

The boy is sitting with other boys in an indoor swimming pool reading something. He stands up and first have to pull his legs of his swim shorts down and later have to adjust some more. Pulling the legs of underwear I have seen in L'enfant sage (see my bedroom blog) but that was due to wearing tight jeans over them lifting them up.

Later he is also standing on the diving board but on the side and from a distance. Swim shorts are maybe too tight especially for the 2000.
