When Naples Sings (Italian : Napoli che canta) is a 1930 Italian musical film directed by Mario Almirante and starring Malcolm Tod. The film was originally made in 1928 as a silent film but delays, including the addition of sound, meant it was not released for two years. It consists almost entirely of recorded Neapolitan songs [1] It was shot at the FERT Studios in Turin. The film enjoyed some success, and was distributed in seven South American countries. [2] It has been described as a "poorly made musical film". [3]
