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.

Not a comedy, but a good drama

"Marriage Italian Style" is not a comedy in my opinion even though it is often billed as such. This surprised me, I was expecting to see a more silly movie and instead got a pretty serious drama which was well acted and interesting. So I will recommend this film as a drama, but not if you're looking for a silly comedy. I did enjoy it though, especially toward the end when it all came together. You can see that there was some real emotion in here about children knowing their fathers and having legitimacy and their mothers being wed and taken care of, an issue Ms. Loren and her mother dealt with in real life I believe from what I read. And Marcello Mastroianni seemed equally fit to his role in this film as well. So in summary, a well acted Italian drama that I rate a 7/10.
