Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Thanks for the memories!

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

at the first sigh, good pretext to admire Loren and Matroianni. the chemistry between themes, the dialogues, the humor, the seductive manner to act together. in fact, it is only one of the charming Mediteranean story, mixing characters and stereotypes, jokes and crazy solutions, a memorable scene and the art of de Sica to explore small aspects of every day reality - the crown of children in Adelina, the grandparents in Mara, the cold and superficial Anna. and this is one of the basic sources of its success. to be the film of ordinaries situation for every day life. for preserve the air of a lost world. for be a simple comedy with two extraordinary actors. and it is enough.

The film consists of 3 vignettes all of them cartoon feel good renditions of Italy. Clichéd syrupy stuff that is supposed to be humorous but the film is not funny. Hollywood (and others) cranked out tons of this s*#t!The first is the worst... Loren keeps out of jail by having more and more kids. The second is interesting only because Loren looks good and has a great car.The third is the longest...Loren is a hooker. All 3 are simple minded fluff...yes the acting is decent--1 extra star.This film is tremendously overrated... it is the sort of film you feel you have to convince yourself to like as it is known and reeks of good nature and comedy?.

These three stories very "Italian" indeed, are full of good humour, social observation and correct atmosphere. The direction of De Sica is superb, the acting of Mastroianni and Loren is unique and in the second and third stories we recognize the subtle and superior hand of their author, the great Zavattini. The first story takes place in a very typical popular neighbourhood of Naples where a cigarette pedlar and smuggler (Sofia Loren) discovers that the way of not going to jail for failing to pay a fine, is to get pregnant over and over and giving birth to one child after another with the problems this brings to her exhausted husband (Mastroianni). The second story shows us an aristocratic Milanese rich lady who to escape her boring life gets herself a lover on a social stratum lower to hers and finishes by valuing her Rolls Royce car more than her lover. This is perhaps the not so good of the three stories because it lacks some strength in terms of plot. Finally the third story (maybe the best of the three) is sometimes delirious and hallucinating in its very funny rhythm (Loren's acting is fabulous here) and tells us about a luxury prostitute living near the Piazza Navona in Rome who nevertheless has a soft heart and with whom a neighbour young seminarist falls in love while she plays a game of pull and let go with one of her clients who is anxious to take her to bed most unsuccessfully. This story has a surprising end and a fascinating scene of strip-tease (incomplete of course). You'll have a very amusing time watching this movie.

i don't know what movie David saw when he said that Loren Marcello movie was putrid his comment maid me sick or that he doesn't understand fully Fellini's 8 1-2 the problem with websites like IMDb that you get people on who are not cinema lovers or love Italians i happen to be both and Italian and movie lover when i watch Loren and Marcello act it gives me joy i also am an actor and shot the undesirables in Concetta in Rome in 2002 what a wonderful experience the Italians shoot film like its art party supper i had so much fun so please screen this idiots who come on love your service IMDb,but you have to rid your self of game players who come on this website. see Marcello in white nights see sophia Loren in two women see me in the undersiables
