Sophia Loren and Clark Gable strikes romantic sparks in this comedy romp set amid the beautiful city of Naples and the Isle of Capri. In my opinion Sophia is a great actress and a person who really likes to work hard on her career. She also shows a good music talent when she sings in the bar where she works at night. I reccomend this wonderful movie to everybody who likes Sophia Loren and Clark Gable.

Made in 1960, this could have been an advert for the American view of Italians in their element, with gorgeous scenery, fabulous colours, hugely animated conversations and beautiful girls, none more so than Sophia, of course. Her singing of the Americano song in the nightclub is something of a classic and the countless gorgeous scenes shot on location in Capri make you want to pack your bags immediately. Having been a few times over the last 20 years, it's surprising how little it's actually changed,
The story is almost irrelevant, as you just lie back and let the whole joyful, amusing and colourful experience wash over you. Anyone who doesn't want to visit Capri after this to visit the Villa del Palazzo Reale has a heart of stone.
It's similar to Three Coins In A Fountain, which has more wonderful Italian travelogue scenery from the 50s, but It Started in Naples is simply more fun.

This 1960 romantic comedy set in the italian city of Capry, near the mediterrean is a true deligth. Gable and Loren are very good in this type of story and the suporting cast is wonderful. With amazing color and nice music the film is very enjoyable and it should deligth not only Gable and Loren fans but also romantic comedy aficcionados.The dvd edition as no extras but the picture quality is great with the original widescreen vista vision clor photography looking fantastic for a 1960 film. So...at this price this is a must own dvd!Enjoy it!

Old school
This film is really old-fashioned. Old-fashioned in a good way. Loren and Gable evoke the atmosphere of post-war Hollywood, the story is as stirring as you'd expect and the setting... Read more

I loved this film but... Gable and Loren were wonderful and the glitz lived up to its reputation. What was really fascinating was the depictin of post-war American values. Read more
