Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector Vittorio De Sica, who also plays the role of Count Prospero, often used to pick up actors for his movies from the streets. He proposed the role of Count Prospero to lawyer Alfredo Jelardi, whom he had seen in action in a court in Naples and who was well known in Naples. De Sica invited the lawyer in a hotel in Naples to discuss the proposal: Jelardi was really interested, despite never having performed in any kind of recitation, but at the end he decided to refuse the proposal because the role remembered him too much some aspects of his private life. Jelardi asked De Sica to personally play the role drawing inspiration from him.
- Quotes
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.
- Alternate versionsThe segment on the funeral of a dead child was deleted from all release versions, and the short segment on the Professor only appeared in the original Italian version. For the remaining four episodes, the time was 107 minutes.

Featured review
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'!
