Nanni Loy

Director

Nanni Loy (1925–1995) was an Italian film and television director known for comedies and tragicomedies rooted in Italian social realities; he is also credited in sources as an early promoter of candid-camera formats in Italy.

Directed films set in Naples and worked with major Italian actors (examples in DeBaser reviews include Giancarlo Giannini, Lina Sastri, Nino Manfredi).

DeBaser reviews praise Nanni Loy's comedies and Neapolitan-set tragicomedies, highlighting performances (Giannini, Sastri, Manfredi) and authentic locations. Café Express and L'audace colpo dei soliti ignoti receive strong praise; Mi manda Picone is noted for its tragicomic handling of social issues. One outlier review (on a Mr. Bean film page) is dismissive.

For:Fans of classic Italian cinema, readers interested in Neapolitan stories and commedia all'italiana

 The fact is that 'Mr. Bean's Holiday' has nothing enjoyable.

 A masterpiece to be framed.

 Italian cinema is a great untranslatable sphere that has sailed under a thousand different bridges and has lived as much in the mouths of famous and unforgettable characters as in those of more anonymous and simple ones.

 Excellent work by Nanni Loy, assisted by a brilliant Giancarlo Giannini and a beautiful/talented Lina Sastri among the protagonists.
