Description:According to the programme, Giannini, “transferring to the big screen his theatrical success, aspired, with this film, to give to the new kind of Dance-Musical-Fantasy, which was tried right after World War II, an intense local colour. Of special interest is the information that the film-predecessors of the TARANTELLA NAPOLETANA are considered “The Red Shoes” and “An American in Paris”.
The result is a cinematic poem for Giannini’s beloved Naples, with flashbacks to imaginary scenes of " sentimental and satiric incidents and the participation of many great dancers, singers and actors.
