ENNIO MORRICONE REVIEWS, Part 4-42

IN GINOCCHIO DA TE (1964)

In Ginocchio Da Te is an Italian romantic comedy directed by Ettore Fizzarotti. The film stars Italian pop star crooner Gianni Morandi as Traimonti, a young singer who is drafted into the Italian Army. He quickly falls in love with Carla (Laura Efikain), the daughter of his colonel, but while on leave in Naples, he meets a new girl in the shape of a beautiful and rich young socialite, who falls in love with his voice. With two women to choose from, what is a young, handsome Italian man to do? Hilarity (and lots of 1960s romance) ensues.

The only two pieces of score music ever released from Ennio Morricone’s score for In Ginocchio Da Te are the title track “In Ginocchio Da Te” and “Se Puoi Uscire Una Domenica Sola Con Me”. The title track is a sultry piece for solo saxophone and orchestra, with a light pop beat and a sweeping, lounge music sound that is appealing and very much typical of the time. “Se Puoi Uscire Una Domenica Sola Con Me,” translated as ‘If You Can Go Out One Sunday With Me’ and also known as ‘Blondes On Parade,’ is a cheerful throwback big-band jazz piece full of lively beats, swooning strings, muted brasses, and brushed snares , enlivened by what sound like playful variations on military cavalry charges. In the film the title track had lyrics by Bruno Zambrini and was performed as a song by lead actor Morandi with backing by Cantori Moderni di Alessandrini, and became a hit in its native country.

Both score cues could be found on a now long-out-of-print 45RPM vinyl EP released by RCA Records Europe but, in the absence of any sort of fuller score release, the only place these cues are available to listen to now is on YouTube. Anyone who has an affinity for Morricone’s light pop song ballads and lush string arrangements for them will find them to be very appealing; I certainly like them a lot.

Track Listing: 1. In Ginocchio Da Te (3:04), 2. Se Puoi Uscire Una Domenica Sola Con Me (2:11). RCA Records PM45 3263, 05 minutes 15 seconds.
