  Maybe this has been discussed already but in 1966, Canadian director Claude Jutra directed another skateboarding flick called Rouli-Roulant (English title: The Devil's Toy). It's about kids in Montréal who get their boards taken away by a cop. Some but not much dialogue in this one either. A sweet song by Geneviève Bujold at the end too. And it starts off like Naked City in a lot of ways. Part one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZzMKy0o_ow Part two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQmZQV72TIg...

  Wow!!!!! I think of this movie, still, from time to time. I grew up in so Cal in very early 70's and we were shown this movie in school every time it rained and we couldn't go outside for recess. As a girl, it sort of confused me, especially the part where the boys were staring at the fountains breasts, always made me uncomfortable....

  THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU.I have wondered about this short movie since we lived in long beach in the mid 60's.I saw it on TV after school and kept watching that show to see it again,I was in third grade.I just got a shwinn stingray for my birthday and my older brother(in high school)had some scateboards I would ride down the street.I never remembered very much of the movie but this is it ,another mystery solved via the internet.My brother probably remembers the Rolling hills theater.I'll have to look up Malaga cove,thanks again,Rick....
