Directed by Vittorio De Sica | Italy, France | 118 mins
In Naples, Adelina sells cigarettes on the black market, avoiding prison by leveraging a string of pregnancies. In Milan, wealthy Anna escapes boredom by pursuing a struggling journalist, but a costly accident prompts her to reconsider the love affair. Meanwhile, in Rome, Mara, a prostitute with a lot of heart, indulges a young priest’s infatuation, leading to hilarious consequences.
These three completely disparate sets of characters, situated in different parts of Italy, come together in Director Vittorio De Sica's trilogy, which once again showcases Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni as the greatest screen couple of all time. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow won the 1965 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Picture.
