Marriage Italian Style(Matrimonio all'italiana)

When the sickly Filumena is brought to the home of wealthy businessman Domenico and begs him to marry her, he begins to reminisce on their tempestuous twenty-year romance, how he rescued her from a bombed-out bordello during the war, and their numerous misadventures together. De Sica’s exquisite tragicomedy of a woman’s singular pursuit of familial stability marks a thriving reteaming for stars Loren and Mastroianni, who are justifiably hailed as the First Couple of Italian Cinema. Breathing life into a character ‘that embraces all womankind’, Loren proved that she had far more depth as an actress than critics had believed.
