Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

Buy This Item Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow by Koch  Available from Amazon  $8.99  on 11-1-2008     Vittorio De Sica's delightful anthology comedy from 1963 pairs joined-at-the-hip costars Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni in three funny stories about sex. The first finds Loren playing an impoverished woman with a jail sentence hanging over her head. A unique loophole in the law, however, keeps her out from behind bars: pregnant women and new mothers cannot be incarcerated. Forestalling her date with the pokey, this incredibly fecund felon keeps bearing children. Her lucky but exhausted accomplice is played by Mastroianni, who can't resist her siren call between deliveries. The middle vignette finds the two actors playing secretive lovers having an affair. Shot mostly from within and around his car, the pair self-consciously quibbles and keeps having comic mishaps that slow their progress. The last story is the cheekiest, featuring Loren as an expensive hooker whose date with a--shall we say "anxious"--Mastroianni is repeatedly broken up by a neighboring seminarian whose commitment to chastity has been rocked since seeing her. This tale includes Loren's famous striptease, the one Robert Altman sweetly parodied in <I>Ready to Wear</I>. <I>--Tom Keogh</I> Reader Reviews Be warned, this video has extremely poor video quality. The colors are mainly muted browns. It is a print of a projected film with all of the defects of a worn out film. I was very disappointed with this copy of these entertaining films. The stories are as good as ever, I just wish I had found a good copy of them.
