Nov7 GOLD OF NAPLES Loren1

North American Restoration Premiere

Based on Giuseppe Marotta’s popular novel, The Gold of Naples is a charming anthology tribute to the coastal city of its title and was a pivotal film in Sophia Loren’s career: her role in the segment “Pizza on Credit” went far to cement her as a star after three years of work as an extra and in bit parts. This was also her first collaboration with filmmaker Vittorio De Sica, with whom she would make several films over the course of her career, and the start of her relationship with producer Carlo Ponti.

DIRECTED BY: Vittorio De Sica. WRITTEN BY: Cesare Zavattini, Vittorio De Sica, Giuseppe Marotta. WITH: Silvana Mangano, Sophia Loren, Eduardo De Filippo, Paolo Stoppa. 1954. 131 min. Italy. B&W. Italian. 4K DCP. Digital restoration by Cinecittà and Filmauro.
