Scarpetta e l'americana

The story

A fragment of a short comedy of Neapolitan setting, in which the actor Vincenzo Scarpetta, son of playwright Eduardo, is struggling with a Miss across the Atlantic. The woman throws a chest in the sea, asking his lover to recover it as proof of love. He turns to a fisherman, offering him money to complete the recovery for him. The film, shot in 1916, was, for reasons unknown, unpublished until 1918.
