Friends for Life is a 1955 Italian–French comedy-drama film directed by Franco Rossi and starring Geronimo Meynier and Andrea Scirè. It was produced by Cines and S.N. Pathé Cinéma and distributed in Italy by Diana Cinematografica.

Production

Rossi developed the film after reading Alain-Fournier's 1913 novel Le Grand Meaulnes and the author's correspondence with Jacques Rivière. Film scholar Franco Perrelli describes Friends for Life as a free variation on the novel rather than a direct adaptation. The film retains the novel's themes of idealized adolescent friendship, emotional discovery and betrayal while transferring the story to contemporary Rome.

The film was produced by Cines, then a state-controlled company headed by Carlo Civallero, in association with the French company S.N. Pathé Cinéma. It was conceived as a film for young audiences, although Rossi intended its treatment of friendship and adolescence to appeal to adults as well. The filmmakers also studied the interests and experiences of schoolchildren while developing the story.

Rossi prepared two endings. In the version shown at the Venice Film Festival, Mario reaches the airport after Franco's plane has departed. The version released commercially allows the boys to meet and reconcile before Franco leaves.
