Young, former delinquent Pietro is accused of assisting a group of criminals, who have stolen a valuable Medici urn, the boy runs to Poccari, and asks for help.

Vittorio De Sica is always a delight, and is once again, it's an interesting story, one that feels somewhat Father Brown like to me, but it's imaginative, it looks amazing, and has a good cast.

What I was most struck by, once again, the sheer quality of the production, I was expecting dodgy sets and masses of lighting, instead we get the real deal, we actually get the full Italian flavour, not just seasoning.

Before he even spoke, it was easy to spot the young Richard O'Sullivan, who genuinely looks no different, even at such a young age, he's still very good. That group of kids definitely had some fun.

Best of all, that Alpha Romeo.

7/10.

Richard O'Sullivan as Pietro causes such a hue and cry. He is a juvenile delinquent. Clemente is the padre who always tries to see the good in him.

Clemente is raising funds for his children' home. He has been given a valuable object that is due to be auctioned off. It will help with the much needed funds.

Valio (Philip Latham) is the man with the golden touch. However he has arranged for the object to be stolen. With Clemente in transit with Valio, he is knocked out by the hired thugs.

Pietro was hiding from the police in the back of the car and saw what happened. However Valio makes sure that Pietro gets the blame.

Ricco Poccari believes Pietro and does some background check on Valio.

Meanwhile Pietro gets all the other juveniles in Naples to make sure that Valio does not escape with the valuable object.

There were some odd moments in the story. Pietro having the need to hide in the car. Clemente so ready to believe that Pietro has arranged for the robbery to take place.

Even Poccari put himself needlessly in danger from some thugs.

The influence of the movie Hue and Cry is obvious as the kids round up the baddies.
