Movie Reviews of It Started in Naples
Movie Review: Ah Naples!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am of Italian heritage. My mom was born in Naples and I have been to Naples and Capri. This movie really gives you the flavor of Naples and its beautiful scenery and the true feel of Italians and their passion and expression. Sophia Loren is absolutely gorgeous and has tremendous presence on the screen and the little boy is so funny when he talks English with his cute Italian accent. I loved the dialogue and real Italian colloquialisms used between him and Sophia. Anyone would enjoy this movie and if you are Italian or know Italians you will really appreciate this movie. It is utterly delightful!! I recommend it very highly!
Summary of It Started in Naples
IT STARTED IN NAPLES tells the story of an American lawyer who travels to Naples to settle the estate of his recently deceased expatriate brother. When he arrives, he discovers that his sister-in-law was also killed in the accident, leaving their son Marrietto in the guardianship of an aunt he hardly knows. The mutual suspicion of the two towards one another eventually turns to attraction.A minor entry in the fabled careers of Clark Gable and Sophia Loren, It Started in Naples is slight, but enjoyable fluff. As the title indicates, the story begins in Naples, although the action takes place on the Isle of Capri. Michael (Gable in his penultimate performance) is a lawyer recently arrived from Philadelphia to put his late brother's affairs in order. The result of one of those "affairs" is a street urchin named Nando (Marietto), whose mother is also deceased. Her nightclub singer sister, Julia (Loren), is his lax, if loving caretaker. Straight-laced Michael, who is engaged, believes Nando would be better off in the States. So he takes the matter to court, where he is represented by the dapper Mario (Vittorio De Sica, who directed Loren to an Oscar in Two Women). The conclusion to this harmless bit of escapism is almost as charming as it is inevitable. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
