aka The Medal
Another synopsis:

Story is told from the perspective of 10-year-old Anna who lives with her mother in a working-class neighborhood in 1950's Turin. Her father died a hero's death as a partisan in World War II, and her mother has since put romance out of her mind. Anna aspires to earn a medal that her Catholic teacher at school assigns to the best pupil but her mother's politics and refusal to let Anna make her First Communion get in the way. - tcm.com

Thanks a lot for finding, Night457!

I was also searching for it, but found nothing

So, I already ordered the DVD from Italy....

Oh no! Send it back! You must be a Franco Nero fan like me, to give up and order the DVD so quickly. Right? Well, you can put it on the shelf with Django.

It is really annoying on those occasions when Ulozto search does not reveal Ulozto files! Fortunately, Google sees and reveals ̶a̶l̶l̶ more -- after scrolling through a number of generic results. But I did not find it until my second day searching, and that was after finding the ok.ru version. And rarefilmm (which I thought was just an information site, perhaps confusing it with rarefilmfinder) actually has both versions, one embedded and one in the Download link.

There was an eMule search result that a few people were working on (

), but it was incomplete at 88%. I could see in the Preview that it was lower resolution than the DDL versions I found, so I deleted it.

It appears that both versions I linked are from the same source. Either the 480p is from a DVD and the 720p is an upscale from it, or the 720p is streaming / HD premium cable TV and the 480p is a downscale. Neither have TV logos and both have identical hardsubs.

Well, I 'm not a fan of hardcoded subtitles. At least I have it without subs and can make a .srt from the files we got so far...

Indeed.. I was a Franco Nero fan, at least when I was as a child

Me neither, but I do take them when that is what I have available. I like soft subs because they are endlessly correctable, adjustable and translatable. As you no doubt well know!

I am really not a fan of OCRing hardcoded subs because it is such torture. Usually after trying the standard OCR way to see if it is one of the more cooperative subtitle sources -- and it rarely is -- I end up finding it easier to let it produce the timecodes filled with complete error-filled text and then manually type out the entire dialog. As time-consuming as THAT is, it aggravates me less than following along and "training" the OCR, which never seems to "learn" anything anyway.

Do you use software that does hardsubtitle OCR better than Subtitle Edit, AVISubDetector, and SubRip?

Ha ha, I knew it! I am childish, so I have not given up on him yet.

All it takes is one kiss from capitalist businessman Django and the leftist labor-organizer milf in this film instantly loses all her sense.

Yes, it's called VideoSubFinder. https://sourceforge.net/projects/videosubfinder/

You can find a tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cd36qODmYF8

It's the easiest way to do this.

Thank you! I had heard of but not tried it yet. Now with this strong recommendation, I have a good reason to use it on my next hardsub challenge, whatever that may be.

After receiving the DVD, I thought that the movie would look better in HD
