"The Four Days Of Naples"

[Atinkerer]

Hi,

I recently learned about "The Four Days Of Naples", where during WWII the people of Naples, lead by little boys of about 12 years old, devastated the German military in four days and caused them to rout by land, sea, and air. Does anyone here know where I can get a DVD movie about this subject? There was one movie made in 1962 called "The Four Days Of Naples", but I can't find a copy anywhere. Either one in English or in Italian would be fine.

Also, if anyone has some information or insight into this odd chapter of WWII, I'd love to hear about it.

Thank's,
Tony

I was consider reading/listen to the book, as the audible verison is on Audible.com

The historical episode of the Naples rebellion was recalled in the ending of Luigi Comencini's film Everybody Go Home (1960) and in Nanni Loy's 1962 film The Four Days of Naples (with the latter nominated for Oscars for best foreign film and best screenplay).

Thanks for the feedback Davep. I may just have to buy a good book about it.

Thank's again,
