The Four Days of Naples	comment	The Four Days of Naples is a 1962 Italian war film directed by Nanni Loy.It's about, well, the "Four days of Naples". September 1943. Neapolitans are sick of war, sick of being hungry, sick of their city getting bombed. So when the new government that toppled Benito Mussolini announces on September 8, 1943, that Italy is asking the Allies for an armistice and getting out of the war, the people of Naples are delirious with joy.Unfortunately the Germans are still in the country and are not quitting the war. The people of Naples are still dancing in the streets when the German army moves in. The commander announces martial law, and the Germans shoot a sailor in the town square just to make a point. Panic spreads when the Germans start rounding up the men of the town, intending to take them off to Germany as slave labor. When the Germans take hostages with the promise of executing them if the townsfolk misbehave, the citizens of Naples rise up in revolt. Civilians and partisans, scrounging up any weapons they can find, engage the Germans in a four-day battle for the city.

The movie ends with the Allies' tanks rolling through the same streets, only this time signaling the city's liberation.

They are unpleasantly surprised to find the Germans turning a corner onto the street behind them, on the same side of the barricade, forcing the Italians to run around to the other side for cover.

One translates orders from the German commander to the locals, and tells them to clap when the sailor is shot in the square. There's a guy named Arnaldo who, when the Germans come to his apartment, tells them that he's a fascist and does a Hitler salute.

They make it to the water only to see that some other men beat them there and are leaving on the boat. As the men left behind watch from shore, the boat full of civilians is intercepted by a German patrol boat, which opens fire, killing everyone aboard.

The Four Days of Naples / int_9afd34de	comment	Slow Clap: A pretty dark instance of this trope, as the people of Naples watch the sailor shot by firing squad in the square. The collaborator doing the translating tells them that they have to clap, that the Germans are filming with newsreel cameras, and that if they don't start clapping the Germans will turn guns on them. They slowly, reluctantly clap.

From the manhole they retrieve their son Arturo, who has been living in the sewer for an undetermined amount of time to avoid being forced into the army. He's wincing from the sunlight as he's pulled up.

The Four Days of Naples / int_a90fff3	comment	Based on a True Story: "Gli episodi di questo film sono ispirati alla realta"..."The episodes of this film are Inspired by… reality." All the events in the film are more or less accurate: the Germans did in fact forcibly evacuate the people living near the bay, a soldier was executed, a 12-year-old boy in the resistance was killed. The main liberty is giving the impression that the uprising seemingly happened only a day or two after the surrender when it was actually two weeks.

As the city erupts in celebration that the Italian fascists are surrendering to the Allies, he bikes through the commotion, and flirts with a melancholic young prostitute. It all looks like he's getting set up to be a central figure in the uprising to come. He's not: He's the sailor that the Germans executed in Real Life when they occupy the city as a warning to the citizens not to disobey them.
