Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

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 sex worker set a wavering priest back onto the spiritual plane. Witty and unforgettable, this gem from master filmmaker Vittorio De Sica is picture-postcard beautiful and effortlessly hilarious.
