The Gold of Naples (L'oro di Napoli in Italian) is a 1954 film from Italy directed by Vittorio De Sica.It is an Anthology Film consisting of six vignettes depicting life in the southern city of Naples, where Vittorio de Sica partly grew up. The stories are: "Il guappo": Saverio (played by Antonio De Curtis aka Totò) is an otherwise cheerful clown, driven to distraction by an unwelcome guest, namely, Don Carmine the mob boss, who has lived with his family for ten years. "Pizze e credito": Rosario and Sofia are a husband and wife operating a pizza stand from their front door. Young, sexy Sofia (20-year-old Sophia Loren) is cheating on her doughy, middle-aged husband with a neighbor. One day, Sofia loses her emerald ring in a pizza (or so she thinks), causing the two of them to go on a frantic search. "Funeralino": Of a child, with the grieving mother and a crowd of children following the funeral carriage through the streets. "I giocatore": Count Prospero (played by Vittorio de Sica), has such a serious gambling problem that his wife has taken control of the family bankroll; the count has to be stopped from pawning a silver place setting to get gambling money. Prospero is reduced to playing cards with an 8-year-old boy to get his fix. "Teresa": Teresa is a Roman prostitute who has come to Naples to marry Nicola, a rich young businessman who took a fancy to her. But after she gets married she finds out that something quite different is going on. "Il professore": Ersilio is a local man who makes a living dispensing advice, for a fee, to all the working-class folks in his neighborhood. They come to him as a group asking how to deal with Duke Alfonso, an arrogant rich dude who insists on driving his car through their crowded, narrow streets, forcing the people of the neighborhood to make way. | |

High-Class Glass | |
The Gold of Naples / int_3cf44d4b | comment |
High-Class Glass Played for comedy in "I giocatore", in which Count Prospero wears one as men of his station are supposed to, an effect undercut when he begs his butler to loan him money and eventually settles for playing cards with a child. Duke Alfonso the arrogant aristocrat is a straight example, wearing his high class glass as he forces the people of the neighborhood to clear the street every time he wants to drive through. | |

Door-Closes Ending | |
The Gold of Naples / int_4968ed35 | comment |
Door-Closes Ending After Don Carmine finds out that he does not have advanced heart disease (it was indigestion) and is actually just fine, he comes back to Saverio's house bent on revenge. But the sight of Saverio's family cowering in fear, especially the little boy on the verge of tears, causes him to leave and shut the door behind him. "Teresa" ends with the door closing to the husband's mansion, after changing her mind and accepting his humiliating but lucrative deal. | |

The Thing That Would Not Leave: It seems that ten years ago, Saverio's wife comforted Don Carmine the widower, and invited him to stay with them. So he did, and ten years later he's still there, bossing them around. | |

The Lost Lenore: Teresa is very unpleasantly surprised to find out that her husband Nicola is actually in eternal mourning for Lucia, his old lover who killed herself when he refused to marry her. He has decided to punish himself forever for her death, and entering into a Sexless Marriage to Teresa is part of that deal. She's humiliated to learn that Nicola's assistant picked her at random. | |
