The film that launched the triumphant cinematic career of Nino D’Angelo
Heart, songs and humour in the wonderful setting of Capri: the quintessential Nino-movie
The film that launched Nino D’Angelo’s cinematic career: in addition to being a Neapolitan artist adored by countless fans (particularly for his singing), he is also a sociological phenomenon to be admired and respected. The success of Un jeans e una maglietta led to more films in which the singer suffers for love before the usual happy ending, all of them punctuated at regular intervals by comedy and, above all, perfectly-timed songs performed with gusto by Nino. This film is a pure distillation of the quintessential Nino-movie: a sort of Romeo and Juliet that takes full advantage of the panoramic magnificence of the island of Capri.
Love blossoms between Nino and Annamaria on the island of Capri. He is a local ice-cream seller, while she comes from a well-off family from Northern Italy and is holidaying on the island, The girl’s father tries his best to thwart the relationship, but in the end realises that their love is stronger than his prejudices.
