Product Description
Yesterday, Today And Tomorrow OSCAR® winner for Best Foreign Film in 1964 stars ACADEMY AWARD® Winner Sofia Loren (Two Women) and Marcello Mastroianni (La Dolce Vita, 8 1/2) who won Best Foreign Actor at the BAFTAs in 1965 for his performance. Vittorio De Sica the great Italian neo-realist director of Shoeshine and Bicycle Thieves completely changes pace for this delightful comedy anthology, a trio of sexual escapades that helped make Loren and Mastroianni the two most popular Italian performers of 20th Century cinema. Adelina (Loren) sells black-market cigarettes on the streets of Naples to support her unemployed husband Carmine (Mastroianni). Caught by the police, and with a jail sentence hanging over her head, desperation sets in. She learns that she can avoid prison as long as she's pregnant. Several years and seven children later, Carmine is exhausted, so jail looks inescapable as does Adelina's contempt for Carmine. In Milan, our second protagonist, Anna (Loren), is bored and wealthy, drives a Rolls Royce, and is having an affair with a writer (Mastroianni). She talks dreamily of running off with him, that is until one day he crashes her car... In the third and final vignette, Loren plays Mara, a call girl from Rome, who turns the head of a naive young man training to become a Priest, prompting a run-in with his self-righteous grandmother and a vow of abstinence. Featuring Loren's notorious striptease, which was recreated years later by Robert Altman in Prêt-à-Porter. Yesterday, Today And Tomorrow remains one of the most loved Italian films of all time, and has never looked better than in this officially-licenced high-definition restoration. Available for the first time ever on DVD in the UK, uncut and in its original aspect ratio.

Vittorio De Sica's trilogy is the ultimate Loren film in which she plays a feisty Neapolitan vendor of black-market cigarettes who keeps getting pregnant in order to stay out of jail; the rich-bitch wife of a Milanese industrialist having an affair with a struggling writer; and a Roman call-girl who arouses unholy thoughts in a naive young seminarian in the adjacent apartment. The third episode is undoubtedly the best, with Loren's steamy bedroom striptease as possibly the sexiest thing ever filmed. Oh, and Mastroianni is excellent,too,in his three contrasting roles as over-taxed husband,out-of-his depth lover, and lusty but frustrated client.

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow and, no doubt, for years to come, this film will give you enormous pleasure. How could it fail? The Loren, Mastroianni, De Sica combination is fail-proof. La Loren, as always, lights up the screen with her undeniable beauty; brilliant, open hearted, gutsy and generous performance; and her versatility. Mastroianni is certainly her equal in all respects. Two actors who could steal any scene, Loren and Mastroianni play so beautifully and generously in all of their films together, comedy or drama, from "A Special Day" to "Marriage Italian Style" they deserve to be called the greatest screen couple of all time. It must have been a joy for the Master, De Sica, to direct them.
I happened to watch this DVD the night after watching "Bicycle Thieves" so was once again struck by the awesome intelligence, compassion, and versatility of De Sica. A true Master of the cinema.
Finally, this high-definition restoration of the film truly adds to the enjoyment of watching it.

This is one of my favorite of Sophia Loren's flim, and like the previous review it is a wonderful film with beautiful acting and Sophia Loren looks so fabulous in all three films. Also to see sceneries of Rome and the country side in the Sixties, I just love it. The quality of the Dvd is excellent, with its original wide screen presentation, also you have a choice of the original in Italian with superb picture quality indeed. Happy Sophia's fan.......

Enjoy!
Fun, stereotypes, period atmosphere. Lots to enjoy, including an iconic, very warm striptease from Sophia Loren for Mastroianni in "Tomorrow"
