IT STARTED IN NAPLES (1960) ¢ ¢ 1/2
D: Melville Shavelson
Clark Gable, Sophia Loren,
Vittorio De Sica, Marietto
Clark Gable, looking like an aging caricature of himself, plays a Philadelphia lawyer who goes to Capri to settle his late brother's estate and gets caught up in a custody battle over the eight-year-old nephew he never knew he had. Gable wants to take the kid back to the States. The boy's aunt, a nightclub performer played by Sophia Loren, wants to keep him on Capri. The stars and the island location are the show here. The rest of the movie is slight. Sophia's nightclub routines are a highlight. What she lacks in technique, she makes up for in enthusiasm, and with legs like that, um, when's the next boat to Capri?
