Heralded as a musical comedy, Tarantella Napoletana is actually a plotless revue. The film sets out to celebrate the music and comedy tastes of the citizens of Naples. The 16 sketches that follow do just that, though some more effectively than others. While some of the individual turns are forgettable, they are redeemed by the excellent work provided by the Armando Curcio chorus and the Gauthier Ballet. The entrepreneurial Curcio also wrote the book and lyrics for Tartentella Napoletana, and, for what it was worth, was credited for the film's "story."
