CIAO, PROFESSORE! DVD - Italian Comedy Film by Buena Vista Home Video | Perfect for Movie Nights & Italian Language Learning

I can't say enough about this under-appreciated movie. It is really a shame that it is not widely available in DVD format.Set in poor school in Naples, it is the story of a Northern Italian teacher who was mistakenly sent to Naples. An inevitable clash of cultures ensues, but in the end our kindly teacher and his unruly students learn to love and appreciate each other. No complete happy ending though, the professore goes back north and the children are left in Naples in wretched conditions. The saving grace is that you get the feeling that everyone will be O.K. regardless of their challenges.For learners of Italian the sub-titles are done pretty well. For everyone else, it is just a good story.
