Description
 
This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.

In Italian with English subtitles. This is the uncut Italian version, with a run time of 2h 11m.

Vittorio De Sica, Cesare Zavattini, and Giuseppe Marotta wrote this anthology of tales depicting various aspects of Neapolitan life, with the emphasis of poignancy and comedy: "The Racketeer" features Toto with a gangster as his unwanted house guest; "Pizza On Credit" gave Sophia Loren one of her first starring roles, as a wayward wife who loses her wedding ring; "The Gambler" stars De Sica in a hilarious performance as a compulsive gambler whose rich family won't give him money, so he's reduced to playing cards with the young son of his servant; "Theresa" features Silvana Mangano as a prostitute who discovers that a man really does have to be crazy to marry her.

5 of 5 L'Oro Di Napoli September 23, 2023
Reviewer: Steve from Washington, DC United States  
This is one of the finest films from the great post-war era of Italian movies.  Seven vignettes, each starring a great actor or actress, ranging from comic to tragic.

5 of 5 L'Oro di Napoli (The Gold of Naples) October 24, 2022
Reviewer: Dominic Dear from London, London England  
One of the great Italian comedies of the Fifties, finally with clear English subtitles, so that it is easier now to fully appreciate the greart performances by Toto, Paolo  Stoppa, Vittorio de Sica and Sophia Lopren. The film is an absolute masterpiece. I am delighted with this excellent copy.

5 of 5 Wonderful March 23, 2021
Reviewer: John Landolfi from New York, NY United States  
In 1952, I still lived in Naples. I remember seeing la Loren filming on Via Caracciolo. I first saw this film in Naples, before emigrating. Great stories, cinematography, acting, and it resonates with Naples as the melody. Wonderful
