It Started in Naples (1960)

Member Rating:

With top stars Clark Gable as the American Michael Hamilton and Sophia Loren as the very Italian Lucia Curcio, this comedy by director Michael Shavelson already has a lot going for it. Michael is a lawyer who arrives in Naples to wrap up the estate of his dead brother, killed in an automobile accident. At issue is not so much his material possessions as the ten-year-old son Nando (Marietto) that he left behind. Nando's mother also died in the accident and her unmarried sister Lucia has claimed him as her own. As Michael and Lucia clash over legal custody of the young orphan, romantic sparks start to fly from all that friction, making the situation of Nando's custody just a little more complicated. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

What a refreshing movie about falling in love. Had me laughing in parts. And kept my attention.

I enjoyed this movie because I have always been a fan of Clark Gable and Sophia Loren. But it was bittersweet because this was two years before Clark Gable died and their performances were not great; but I still enjoyed seeing them.

As soon as I heard Clark Gable's voice over at the beginning of this movie I had a feeling I was in for trouble, and I was right. This movie was painful to watch, especially Clark Gable and Sophia Loren's performances. It was painful just to look at Clark Gable, believe it or not. I noticed the close-ups for him were very limited and it was understandable. His face looked bloated and it looked like he had problems with his teeth. It seems the director was trying to imitate David Lean's Summertime (1955) in some respects, like with the "cute" little streetwise kid, but it didnt' work at all. The plot was dumb and the performances dumber. Didn't make it all the way through and definitely don't recommend.
