What happens

The Marquis of Ruvolito (Italian: Il marchese di Ruvolito) is a 1939 Italian "white-telephones" comedy film directed by Raffaello Matarazzo and starring Eduardo De Filippo, Peppino De Filippo and Leda Gloria. Based on a play of the same title by Nino Martoglio, it is set in Naples during the early 1900s. It is now considered a lost film. The film's sets were designed by the art director Virgilio Marchi and Italo Tomassi. It was shot at Cinecittà Studios in Rome. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
