Matrimonio all'Italiana
Marriage Italian Style
(Italy/France, 1964, 101 minutes)
After WWII ends, a wealthy Neapolitan merchant takes on a big-hearted prostitute as his kept woman, without ever meaning to marry her — until she takes matters in her hands. Lively, if predictable, comedy-melodrama reuniting the stars and director of Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow, with a tour-de-force performance for its female lead.

Directed by Vittorio de Sica; produced by Carlo Ponti; screenplay by Renato Castellani, Tonino Guerra, Leo Benvenuti and Piero de Bernardi, based on the play Filumena Marturano by Eduardo de Filippo; music by Armando Trovajoli; director of photography, Roberto Girardi; production designer, Carlo Egidi; costumes for Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni by Piero Tosi; wardrobe, Vera Marzot; film editor, Adriana Novelli.
