Description:
Academy Award(r) Winner Sophia Loren (TWO WOMEN) and Academy Award(r) nominee Marcello Mastroianni (LA DOLCE VITA, 8 1/2) team up in all three hilarious sexual escapades in this delightful comedy anthology which helped establish the two stars as the most popular Italian performers of 20th century cinema.
YESTERDAY, TODAY & TOMORROW, winner of the 1964 Oscar(r) for Best Foreign Film, remains one of the most beloved Italian films of all time.
A masterful comedic film by Italy's greatest neo-realist director, Vittorio De Sica (THE BICYCLE THIEF, TWO WOMEN), is here for the first time ever on DVD in America -uncut in its original aspect ratio.
The brand new 16x9 digital transfer was restored in collaboration with De Sica Foundation from the original 35mm interpositive and has never looked better.
The final vignette featuring Loren's notorious striptease, was recreated decades later by Robert Altman in READY TO WEAR.
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

Rating:  - Make sure to get the REMASTERED EDlTION...
I just bought a copy of this great Italian film, and it is wonderful. I read a lot af reviews about how terrible the video and audio transfers were and was very tentative about purchasing a copy, but I went on the Amazon Marketplace for the remastered edition released by No Shame video and purchased it there. All I can say is that I couldn't be happier with this version. Just make sure that the seller mentions in the description that it is the No Shame release, or the remastered edition and ... Read More
Rating: - don't be confused is right!
there is a remastered version of this available on amazon. blue cover bad, brown cover good. look for remastered in the title line. remastered version is going for about $45 used, $49 new. version not worth buying about $10 new.
Rating:  - Wow. Terrible DVD.
This DVD is insultingly bad. You can only watch the movie dubbed in English. It's 2008, yet this manages to be worse than some of the DVDs I bought back in 1998 when I bought my first DVD player. I don't need a 4 disc extravaganza for every movie, but at least give people the option of watching the movie in its original language. Find any other way to watch this movie that doesn't involve this atrocious DVD.
Rating: - I feel ripped off
I can't believe Amazon allows the sale of such trash. This is clearly an illegal bootleg and it seems I'm not the first to have found this out all too late. They should be getting fined for selling bootleg garbage such as this. That being said; why can't I find a legit copy of this film anywhere? It won an Oscar for gods sake, it should be easier to find than this.
Rating: - Don't let "Don't Confuse" confuse you
Just so we're clear on this, the Amazon featured "most positive" review titled "Don't confuse this great DVD with terrible past transfers" is wrong. This is indeed one of the "terrible past transfers" and it is misleading and dishonest for Amazon to post that review as representing this bootlegged junk. I didn't think the quality could be as bad as others said, but it is.
