Nino Castelnuovo

Deneuve has the nose of a couchon and bland coloring. She was never the great beauty that Elizabeth Taylor was. (briefly)

What the hell is a couchon?

Deneuve was stunning and kept her looks for far longer.

I remember jacking off to some pictures of a naked Nino in "Camille 2000" from one of those Playboy "Sex in the Cinema" articles.

R1, I think you mean "cochon." "Couchon" is Picard spelling.

Nino Castelnuovo and Catherine Deneuve in The Umbrellas of Cherbourg

Nino in Umbrellas has been a huge crush of mine ever since I saw the film in its first big re-release years ago at Film Forum.

Do not, I repeat do not look up what he looks like today.

I understand he got a huge swelled head after the success of Umbrellas. Too bad because I would have loved to have seen him in Girls of Rochefort which he was supposed to do.

Yes indeedy: I watched Umbrellas recently and was entranced.

Nino was stunning in it. And in the story his character ended up happier than Deneuve’s.

I know there are youngsters who've never this wonderful movie. Please, find a little time to fill this into your schedule. It's a sustaining work of art.

Nino was super hot when young. Too bad he never became a super star. I also think he was one of the many pretty boys who slept with Visconti (and maybe others) at the beginning of his career. Today he's disabled, blind and poor. His wife gave an interview a few months ago asking for help. Sad.

I love Umbrellas but there are many who cannot abide it.

My parents saw it when it first came out and thought it was another French romantic movie. They were surprised it was a completely sung through musical and they said there were a lot of walk outs.

fun fact: Umbrellas was barely released in Italy, and it was a huge flop. It did nothing for Nino's fame in his own country. I'm wondering if Nino slept with Demi as well. Demi was cute too.

"Do not look up what he looks like today."

NOW he tells me!

Demy died od AIDS.

You should have told me you were going to do it 6 months ago. I would have prevented you at all costs.

The ending at the Esso station is one of the saddest and most hopeful in a movie. Stunning.

i always loved this pic form the shooting. They look so gorgeous and cool!

The very beautiful elegant Anne Vernon who plays Deneuve's mother in the film is still alive in her 90s.

The film had a huge impact on those of us who were young in the mid-60s. And how has no one mentioned the importance of the gorgeous Legrand music? Makes me teary whenever I hear the soundtrack.

^really? a HUGE impact?? Bitch please. And i love Demi!

Nino taking a dive in 1982

For years he did commercials for Olio Cuore.

He was sort of the Florence Henderson of Italy.

you're welcome!

A stunning movie. Never have Esso gas stations looked so glamorous.

I don't know if Demy had a relative who worked at one but the memory of a gas station was a nostalgic one of his youth and he put it in the film.

Something about the smell of gasoline and eating a freshly baked croissant. Really.

Demy's father owned a garage, R25

Oh, well I guess that will do it.

A couple of years ago, my partner and I went to see this movie at the TIFF Lightbox here in Toronto. My umpteenth time seeing it, he was an Umbrellas "virgin" (he loved it BTW.) Overheard from a conversation between two millennial girls while leaving the theatre: "Wow... I feel, from this point on, I should talk to people only by singing in French!"

The man who dubbed his voice in the film looked more like Bob Hoskins than Nino Castelnuovo.

R5 un couchon c'est un cochon qui couche, non?

What does he look like now?

He sure was hot in Camille 2000.

R31 you don't want to know but I'm sure someone will post it. Avert your eyes.

Umbrellas of Cherbourg was a wonderful movie. The story and the music. I didn't think I would like the movie dialogue being sung but it was not bothersome at all. "If it takes forever..."

Nude.

R31's google is on strike.

Nino had a wonderful ass: he was a dancer in his youth.

He's 81, r33 you asshole. What do YOU look like? When did you ever look as good as he did?

he's also very ill, so excuse him if he doesn't look like a model

Gotta laugh at the DL trolls like r33.

Does anyone remember the troll under the bridge in "The Three Billy Goats Gruff"? Ladies and ladies, I give you r33.

This is how remember him. I’m much younger than the movie but from the first time I saw it and every time since then I always fall in love with his character and his looks.

There are a number of distinguished looking 81 year olds.

R33 and R39 need to stop hanging out with 12 year old boys.

r41 should not be giving lessons in standards.

r39 is defending Nino, r41, you idiot.

He and Franco Nero were responsible for my lifelong attraction to Italian men.

I like UMBRELLAS but it's such a rip...uh, 'hommage' of Pagnol's FANNY/MARIUS/CESAR Trilogy in its melodramatic plot elements.

R30, Formidiable!

perfection

And I'm guessing that Pagnol took the stories from somewhere else. It was hardly original with him.

No love for Guy’s rival, Roland Cassard?

C'est lui pour moi, moi pour lui dans la vie!

Another cutie is openly gay Andrea Occhipinti. He wad with Bo Derek in "Bolero." She helps him reclaim his manhood after a bullfighting accident...

R50 It's the moustache.

Nino romantic and sexy on TV singing live. Very Italian.

Love the film noir lighting.

He's petite and lithe. Cute then handsome but really its a dime a dozen gorgeousness in many latin countries.

R55 True. He looked like a handsome Italian waiter.

Now, Massimo Girotti...

So gorgeous.

Umbrellas is a classic. The Legrand score is one of the best of all time.

He was gorgeous.
