Synopsis
The Treasure of San Gennaro (Operazione San Gennaro, 1966) is an Italian-French-German crime comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Dino Risi and running 104 minutes. The cast includes Nino Manfredi, Senta Berger, Mario Adorf, Harry Guardino, and the legendary Totò in one of his final screen appearances.
Two Americans arrive in Naples with a plan to steal the priceless treasury of San Gennaro from the city's cathedral. What they did not account for: nothing of consequence happens in Naples without the blessing of the local mob. They have to negotiate, compromise, and improvise — and the city has a way of making every plan more complicated than it looked on paper.
Risi turns a heist premise into something sharper — a deadpan look at American overconfidence colliding with Italian institutional corruption, played entirely for laughs. Totò takes a supporting role but commands every scene he's in. Stream The Treasure of San Gennaro online on iFILM.
