Le sorprese dell'amore, 1959
LE AVVENTURE DI PINOCCHIO - (Luigi Comencini, 1972)
The most beautiful cinematic adaptation of the immortal tale by Carlo Collodi (in fact a prestigious TV drama in 5 episodes lasting 320 minutes which were then reduced to 135 in the version for the screen that was obtained from it) offers Comencini (the "director of childhood" par excellence) the inspiration for an original interpretation of one of the motifs (the one that in fact represents the true sentimental meaning) of the story: the moving exaltation of a father's love for the miraculous creature that he has literally "made".
The style is reminiscent of both the Italian neorealism and a certain picaresque imagery and the locations are those of some ancient Tuscan countries and villages that well adapt to both the spirit of the book and Collodi himself. A bunch of great actors give life to the well-known gallery of the novel's characters: Nino Manfredi (as "Geppetto"), Franco Franchi and Ciccio Ingrassia (as "the Cat and the Wolf"), Gina Lollobrigida (the "Blue Hair Fairy"), Vittorio De Sica (the "Judge"), Lionel Stander (the giant "Mangiafoco") and the real surprise of the film, the 9 yo boy Andrea Balestri (a holy find by Comencini) in the role of "Pinocchio" while the great musical score by Fiorenzo Carpi underlines through its "themes" the wonderful actions that compose this extraordinary film.

He decides on telling the oldest, Andrew, who he feels can handle it, but not the youngest, Miles, who is not yet in school and, in his view, more…
