An interesting film but it suffers from cartoonish italiana--- I don't know what else to call it... the over exaggeration of feel good cliché Italian color.
Every camera shot must have been selected by the tourism bureau to show authentic old Naples.
That distraction aside the story is good except it gets carried away with unbelievable junk about Marcello's theater involvement.
Also these men are 60 years old what is Marcello doing with a 20 year old son? If this film had been toned down and made a little more realistic it would have been a master piece.
