| This a Definitely a Sophia Fan Movie! |

| Sophia is Splendid! |
I always remembered seeing this movie. Perhaps in the early teens, one can really get enamored by interesting scenery, bigger than life actors and serene beauties.

| Naples Today |
For me,
It Started in Naples may not bring the nostalgic times of yesteryear back as my memory on the plot-line has faded into distant oblivion but seeing the unspoiled beauty of Capri and Naples in the late 50's in motion is really breath-taking especially the Blue Cave, the Naples seafront and the quaint not too developed Isle of Capri.

The plot is simple. A man trying to wrap up the affairs of his brother's estate after his drowning in Naples was compelled to enjoy the life on Capri and fell in love with a local beauty Lucia who has custody of his brother's son, Fernando.

I must admit the audience in the 60s really had the patience to lick up the pedantic dialogue in this movie. Not today. It would be a big flop even it it has such great names like Clark Gable. Remember
Heaven's Gate?

That's Beauty for You
What you will treasure in this movie is watching a young, nubile Sophia Loren doing her cheeky dance on a cabaret floor! Charmed!
