Too Bad She's Bad(Peccato che sia una canaglia)

  • Dir: Alessandro Blasetti

  • Italy, 1954, Italian, 96mins, DCP

  • Cast: Marcello Mastroianni, Sophia Loren, Vittorio De Sica

See where it all began! Too Bad She’s Bad announced Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni as one of cinema’s most magnetic onscreen duos. In this breezy sun-soaked comedy about a family of con artists who attempt to cheat a cocksure young cabbie out of his ride, De Sica, best known as the neo-realist auteur, plays her father, a patriarch to a clan of light-fingered charlatans, but when the radiant Lina crosses paths with street smart Paolo, it’ll be hearts that are stolen. Blasetti roots its screwball comedy in the economic reality of postwar Rome, giving Loren a role tailor-made for her irresistible charm and compelling power to seduce and subvert male desire.
