It Started in Naples was enjoyable fluff starring Clark Gable and Sophia Loren
11 February 2021
This was the first time both me and Mom watched this particular movie. Clark Gable is in Italy to find out about his late brother who had left behind a wife in the States several years back. Turns out that brother's Italian existence was something else as Gable discovers a boy and his aunt, played by Sophia Loren, who have something to do with that brother. Mom enjoyed this fine though I felt the story meandered quite a bit and I also admit to being confused by the boy's lines. But Gable is his professional self at this point in his career and life which didn't have much time left as this was his next-to-last film appearance and Ms. Loren is quite a sexy presence especially when doing her numbers. And neither of us were bothered by their vast age difference. So on that note, we say It Started in Naples is worth a look.
