In ginocchio da te (lit. 'On my knees before you') is a 1964 Italian musicarello film directed by Ettore Maria Fizzarotti and starring Gianni Morandi. It is based on the Morandi's song with the same title. In spite of its poor critical reception, the film was a massive success, grossing over 896 million lire.
The film has been described as "one of the foundational titles of the genre, particularly in marking the transition to a new phase of the musicarello, namely productions built around a single major pop star and with a story structured around that artist's most current hit song.".
