God, he was so gorgeous. The lead man in "Umbrellas of Cherbourg" among many other films. Died the same day as J-P Belmondo.
He looked like someone who might have been in "Dark Shadows."

He did frontal nudity in movies - there must be caps out there somewhere.

He was wonderful in Umbrellas. He and Deneuve made quite the pair.

Deneuve was classically pretty (which aged well) but Castelnuovo had a rugged earthiness (which wasn't the same).

Castelnuovo was big in Europe but wasn't invited stateside.
I get confused between sexy Nino Castelnuovo and sexy Renato Salvatori.

I remember beating off to some hot photo of him (I think from "Camille 2000") that was in one of those annual "Playboy" Sex in the Cinema articles.

R15 - yes! "Camille 2000" is the movie from which there used to be really hot pics floating around the internet way back when.

I'm rewatching Umbrellas of Cherbourg now in his honor. God, he was hot!

Such a good looking actor. Tough year for deneuve, she lost her mother and two rather significant co-stars. Delon too appeared with both and would probably have been aware of Nino.

Just finished Umbrellas... It's a strange film, but it holds up well. I encourage anyone who hasn't seen it to do a rental. A sung-through anti-musical with a terribly bittersweet ending. The sincerity of the two leads is striking -incredibly powerful performances for such young actors, and all the more for having their entire vocal performance lip-synched. Definitely one of those films you really must see before you die.
Nino Castelnuovo was truly beautiful, and thanks to this film he always will be that dashing, handsome young man that made you feel funny inside and then broke your heart.

He did commercials in Italy for years for "Olio Cuore".

It seems he was in his 60s when he appeared in 'The English Patient'.
That movie was so complicated with its various plots that I didn't realise he was in it. It seems he played a character named 'D'Agostino'.

Heart stoppingly gorgeous.
Helmut Berger was an absolute nonentity compared to the beauty of Castelnuovo and Alain Delon.

The third part of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg was so sad.
Perhaps the middle class bourgeois Genevieve didn't properly belong with the rough mechanic Guy.
| by Anonymous | reply 36 | September 8, 2021 11:38 PM |
I always thought that Guy was so horribly treated by Genevieve. She spends twenty minutes singing of how she will wait forever for him, then dumps him to marry a rich guy. Of course, I wanted to be the one to console him...

[quote] Guy was so horribly treated by Genevieve
I agree. I couldn't understand if the scriptwriter was making some kind of protest against the Algerian way or if he was a misogynist?
Or if it was a reference to the theme of "Boy meets girl, boys loses girl, boy reconciles with girl"?
Or whether it was a reference to Puccini's 'Boheme', ie Young Romance in three acts (with a boring middle act)?
Anyway, I'm glad I was able to watch the complete movie on Youtube.
