Hello everyone,

In the 1964 movie Mission to Venice some characters are Italians and sometimes they use Italian words when speaking English.

In some cases Italian words are obvious and easy to recognise as being Italian and in other cases it's a bit difficult to tell if a word is Italian or not.

In one scene Michael Newman talks to his old Italian friend Giuseppe.

Michael: Hey, come here, come here. Say it do you know who the girl on that boat is?
Giuseppe: ***Nice***. She's staying at the Savoia, but I wouldn't recommend her.

Does he really say "Nice" or is it some Italian word?

The scene in question starts at 20.36.

Thank you.

Shera Lyn Parpia, martini, thank you!

I agree it isn't an Italian word
As far as I can make out the word is indeed "nice", and not an Italian word.
