Description :
Winner of the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar at the 1964 Academy Awards, "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" is a sparklingly original comedy that casts Marcello Mastroianni and Sophia Loren in three different stories set throughout Italy. In Naples, they are poor but resourceful, selling black market cigarettes on the streets. In Milan, Loren is costumed in Christian Dior and debates her preference for a Rolls Royce or her husband. And in Rome, Mastroianni is an industry scion who helps Loren’s prostitute set a wavering priest back onto the spiritual plane. This episode features Sophia’s famous striptease, which was recreated 30 years later in Robert Altman’s "Ready To Wear". Witty and unforgettable, this gem from master filmmaker Vittorio de Sica ("Two Women", "Marriage Italian Style") is picture-postcard beautiful and effortlessly hilarious.
