Don Saverio Petrillo (segment "Il guappo"): "My condolences, Don Carmine, my condolences. Come have dinner at our place." That's what you told him. "Tonight you shouldn't be alone. Honor us." And it's been 10 years he's honoring us, this scum bag.

Featured review
feel unique flavour of Neapol
this is not a comedy.
rather documentary movie. shows what i am usually most interested in - local people. their habits, day-to-day life, way they enjoy life and face problems people of Neapol, and city itself, from 50ties as pictured in this movie is worth to see.
all of them are 'typical' Italians - eating pasta, drinking wine, celebrating family, friends, expressing feelings. Moreover you will see local communities, habits - what is most probably no more existing in Neapol nowadays.
the film is not an action killer. it has some subtle humor, good actors, and tells five stories. so if you want to have relaxed, easy afternoon, and fancy traveling in time and space - 'go to Neapol'!
