A festival in Naples is in trouble. The scaffolding outside the theater has crashed down, then a postcard arrives and says that anyone involved will be killed. Journalists Michele Giuffrida (Lello Arena) and Lisa Sole (Maddalena Crippa) start to track down who sent that warning.
Whoever that killer is, they have it out for Italian saxophone player James Senese, who plays himself, and actor Massimo Troisi, who also wrote the script, also playing himself. How dare they appear in the Nuova Napoli festival?
You don't see many movies where people playing themselves get killed, but that's what happens as Senese is hit by a car and Troisi is strangled and has a pizza jammed into his mouth. As to who is behind it all, it's the person you would least expect, which is how so many giallo movies operate. The killer is also stuck on the song "Funiculi, Funicula" which was written in 1880 by Luigi Denza and Peppino Turco to celebrate the first funicular railway on Mount Vesuvius.
No Thanks, Coffee Makes Me Nervous is about a time when Naples was becoming known for new things and changing, which is something the killer is against. The first movie of director Lodovico Gasparini, it was written by Michael Pergolani and Troisi.
