De Sica style

Absolute classic romantic comedy with two of the absolute greats in Marcello Mastroianni and Sophia Loren. The romance is stunningly powerful, the comedy is witty and hilarious. "The more the world changes, the more it stays the same."Marriage Italian Style is a beautiful love story between Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni, that created electricity when they worked together. Passionate chemistry and amazing acting. A difficult story, which makes you question good and bad, right and wrong. It's a "problem play" which ends up happy, but not happy. You wonder what the future will bring, but hope for the best. Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni could not be better matched or more compelling to watch. Overall, I've seen Marriage Italian Style many times and love it more every time.

Seen on Pittsburgh's Chiller Theater only in 1969

After anthologies "Boccaccio 70" and "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow," director Vittorio De Sica returns to a single story format with his favorite actress Sophia Loren, joined yet again by Marcello Mastroianni, evoking memories of her Oscar-winning turn in "Two Women" as Filumena, devoted companion to Mastroianni's wealthy Domenico, who discovered her as a frightened 17 year old in a bordello during a wartime bomb raid, putting her to work as a domestic in his mother's home rather than waste his position in society on a woman below his station. 20 years pass and she now lies on her deathbed, requesting the presence of a priest who promptly joins the two in marriage (just as he's prepared to wed a girl half his age), Domenico stunned to see Filumena up in no time and fighting fit, and more determined than ever to emerge the victor in this battle of the sexes, not so much for herself but for the three sons she has secretly cared for over the years. There are amusing moments to be sure but it's by heart a serious drama in which Sophia effortlessly ages from bubbly coquette to middle aged dowager over 100 minutes yet still meets her perfect match in Marcello Mastroianni, who has no business being so likable when he's essentially portraying a cad.
