A Neapolitan Turk (1953) (original) (raw)

Don Felice, a Neopolitan petty criminal, pretends to be a Turkish eunuch. Felice is a fraudster and a womaniser who escaped from a Naples prison with his cell-mate, a pick-pocket named Faina. The duo, now on the run, rob a foreigner who turns out to be a Turkish eunuch sent by the government to the house of Don Pasquale, a wealthy and jealous Sorrento merchant, to guard his attractive wife Giulietta and his daughter Listetta in exchange for the votes of his local constituents. Don Felice assumes the identity of the eunuch which provides much of the film's comedy.
