Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
Vittorio De Sica's delightful anthology comedy from 1963 pairs joined-at-the-hip costars Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni in three funny stories about sex. The first finds Loren playing an impoverished woman with a jail sentence hanging over her head. A unique loophole in the law, however, keeps her out from behind bars: pregnant women and new mothers cannot be incarcerated. Forestalling her date with the pokey, this incredibly fecund felon keeps bearing children. Her lucky but exhausted accomplice is played by Mastroianni, who can't resist her siren call between deliveries. The middle vignette finds the two actors playing secretive lovers having an affair. Shot mostly from within and around his car, the pair self-consciously quibbles and keeps having comic mishaps that slow their progress. The last story is the cheekiest, featuring Loren as an expensive hooker whose date with a--shall we say 'anxious'--Mastroianni is repeatedly broken up by a neighboring seminarian whose commitment to chastity has been rocked since seeing her. This tale includes Loren's famous striptease, the one Robert Altman sweetly parodied in Ready to Wear. --Tom Keogh

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Poor
Films are good early Sophia but the DVD quality is terrible. Hesitation, washed-out color, unpredictable pauses and flashing color pixels make for poor viewing pleasure
Rating: - I think this is a copy of a copy of a copy
This DVD was so badly done, you will be wasting your time. BUT, if you want to see Sofia in her younger days,I guess you would be willing to purchase it. But be warned, the DVD quality is very bad.
Rating:  - Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
Three comical Italian Vignettes featuring Sophia Loren & Marcello Mastroianni. Sophia & Marcello are funny and sexy.
I did not like the quality of the film. It was not clear and at times I could not see the images clearly.
Rating:  - Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
De Sica and Loren. Really three separate short films. Worth seeing but this version is not restored. The visual quality is terrible. I wouldn't recommend buying this DVD.
Rating: - Poor quality video
Be warned, this video has extremely poor video quality. The colors are mainly muted browns. It is a print of a projected film with all of the defects of a worn out film. I was very disappointed with this copy of these entertaining films. The stories are as good as ever, I just wish I had found a good copy of them.
