The actor in the "brother" role. -- His career was sidelined due to illness. He has recovered to an extent, and is performing again on a limited basis.

Thanks, skipper. I did remember a scrap of theme lyrics about "♫ They go uppty-up-bup, They go down-diddy-down-down.♫" Anyway, next up:
A man and a woman meet, for the first time in a year or more, while Christmas shopping in a department store. He knows, as she does not, that the handsome "son" he has with him is the baby that she gave up for adoption a few years ago. She knows, as he does not, that the cute baby daughter with her is his daughter also. They chat briefly, compliment each other's children, and then go their seperate ways.
Film?

From same movie:
"(He) said he'd call the next day, but in boy time that meant Thursday."
-
Early 1970s. Italian-French. Filming locations include the city named in the title. Timeframe of story -- late 1800s.
-
The actor playing the brother had some TV series exposure before this film, and considerable series and bigscreen work to follow.
Their band was called "The Barbusters."

...abandoned thread...
A fascination all the way to death within a singel gender. 1970s. Foreign film.

The sister is played by an established musician & singer. She has titles and albums on the charts, and IMDb shows her with three times as many Soundtrack credits as Acting credits. The secret she is carrying: Her son's father is a local community bigwig who is, among other things, an icon to people like her mother.

Carol, if Taylor and Oberon called Tiffany's "pradise", I think I have a handle on this title.

Not *Satisfaction.* The sister -- she has a 5-year-old son, father unidentified. Her center of interest is the band and her hopes for it to succeed. Anger and attitude.
The brother still has hopes for the family, and he is the supportive, doting buddy to his young nephew. The kid goes with them on the band's tour.

"Well whatadayawant? She's the only prom date left since my cousin moved to Oxnard."

Thanks, skipper. My next selection is another film whose fans and posters would like to have access to a commercial copy.
Late 1980s. Brother and sister, working-class young adults, have a struggling rock band. And some ambitions for it. Some conflict with their parents over this. The parents, mother especially, is distressed when they quit their jobs to go on tour with the band.
-
I saw it with my dad, Late, Late Show, about age 14. I did not remember the job interview, but I did remember a sort of "describe the scene" moment:
Guy's a cook for a big crew of men working in the wilderness. Problems. -- The hunters foraging for him have had no luck bringing in game that he could use -- deer, elk, buffalo. And the men are hungry. The cook goes over and starts feeling the sides of a plump little donkey. (My dad, laughing, "He's going to cook that jackass?") In a subsequent scene, the cook is ladling out a thick meat stew, and the chow line is moving right along.
I'll be back with another poser.

Thanks, skipper. Next up:
