The Secret Rome (1967)
The two faces of Rome in Italy. The modern and the ancient times were never so close together.
Rome, Italy.
Various shots of modern buildings in Rome; a modern building with classical arches is compared with The Coliseum and ruins in the city. Several shots of buildings in the Old Quarter of Rome; skinny stray cats are seen in the ruins of the Theatre of Marcellus near the city's ghetto; people give money to a woman begging on the street with a child in her arms.
Some tough young men smoke cigarettes by their motorbikes; people mill about a flea market. Several shots in the streets of Trastevere; a woman looks down on the street from a flat above shops; people sit on chairs outside buildings. At the Piazza Santa Maria we see people sitting at tables outside a cafe; young boys play football in the street. A guitarist serenades diners at a pavement restaurant; commentator says rich and poor meet here because the ritziest cafes are sited in these back streets; bohemian and groovy looking people sit at tables of another cafe; a woman uses a cine camera.
Tourists eat spaghetti at an open air restaurant at Rome's Lido; a girl in a bikini at another table pours a glass of water over her head to cool down (Mark pointed out she has hairy armpits!); beefy lifeguards eat at a table on the beach. Several shots of people sunbathing on the beach. Lots of people crowd onto a boat that takes them out for a ride around the Lido.
Several shots of people in a swimming pool in the city that is free for all "if they look the least bit presentable" says commentator. Pop singer Beau Brummel chats up a woman by the pool; she pushes him into the water.
Various shots of the Via Veneto at night; people sitting at pavement cafes; walking about; living the Dolce Vita!
Cuts exist - see separate record.

Ci credi che da anni non vedo il colosseo vuoto? manco d'inverno, è sempre pieno, sempre qua vengono.
The quality of the image is very good!
This was the Italy I fell in love with. Commoners & Noblemen, Lords & lowlife, all living cheek by jowl & doing their nation proud!
I lived in Rome for several years during the period of this film. Low life area?! I think not. The script is pompous and highly stereo typed. As my uncle Romolo used to say " to be born a child of Italy is good fortune, but to be born a child of Rome is a gift from the gods" The portrayal of Italians here is a caricature.

Interesting. I also lived in Rome from 1963-1976, initially off the Via Ardeatina (I looked out at the Cecilia Metella from my bedroom window) and later in EUR. I went to St George’s International School before being packed off to boarding school in the UK in 1967. That was a miserable experience after La Dolce Vita and the world I had got used to. How about you? It would be great to be in touch with someone who has experienced Rome during that era.

Dear Jonas, the situation is much worse in France where Paris, suburbs, and many cities have become unlivable and unsafe, result of 40 years of massive immigration of people who refuse to integrate into society, while they benefit from generous public aid. Compared to Paris, Berlin or London, Rome and Italy have kept their identity : the people of Italy will never submit to the Islamic demands of newcomers wanting to impose their customs.
Cool film from way back. But IMO, the narrator comes across as prejudiced in small ways.
