Three different stories of Italian social mores are presented. In "Adelina", unemployed Carmine Sbaratti and his wife Adelina Sbaratti survive through Adelina selling black market cigarettes on the street. They are unable to pay for the furniture they bought (which is under Adelina's name), but are able to avoid the bailiff when he comes for the money or to repossess.

Italian films of the 1960s... the stories were good, the colors were interesting (often their films had a much lower budget than the American films of the same time). What really stands out is how much the films were used to show Rome, Naples and other cities. The Italian film industry of the 1960s was like a constant tourism campaign. Was this intentional? I do not know. But I suppose if you have some of the most beautiful cities in the world, you may as well flaunt them.

Fmovies: Two great performers of the Italian screen, Marcello Mastroianni and Sophia Loren, star in this earthy three-episode film, directed by Vittorio De Sica and tailor-made for the two stars. The success of this film led to the making of MARRIAGE, Italian STYLE a year later. In the first of the three comic vignettes Sophia is a black marketeer in Naples who discovers that a pregnant woman cannot be put in jail and so tries to maintain perpetual pregnancy. Poor fatigued husband Mastroianni is barely up to the task, however, and this fact provides much of the humor. The middle episode, the least effective, has Loren as a Milanese rich-bitch of liberal attitudes but who likes to plow into other people's cars. In the last episode Sophia is a Roman prostitute, Mastroianni is her sex-crazed customer. Part of the story is about how she unwittingly almost destroys the vocation of a seminarian living in an apartment across the terrace. Seminarians, surrender!

Addendum: in 2005 a new DVD release in letterbox format allows us to see the movie in its original wide-screen CinemaScope ratio. It has the original Italian language version with an English-tract option and a subtitle option.

Italian anthology comedy starring Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni. It's often cited as one of the best films of both stars. There are three stories involving different couples, each played by Loren and Mastroianni. The first has Sophia as a wife who keeps getting pregnant to avoid a jail sentence. It's an amusing story, although it goes on a little long. The second story is about a rich married woman taking a drive with her lover. The segment is pretty dull as it builds up to its punchline. But I suppose that was the point, to make you thing this was an inane soap opera story about whether this woman will choose fortune or love. The question is answered humorously enough but this is still the weakest story in the film. The third story, and the one for which the movie is probably most famous, has Sophia playing a prostitute. Her neighbor's grandson, about to become a priest, falls for Sophia and she must try to set him back on the right path. But, in doing so, she makes a vow that frustrates lustful client Marcello. Sophia's never looked sexier than here and her striptease is legendary.

Of the three stories, the last is the most entertaining but none are bad. Sophia is beautiful and enchanting. She and Marcello are both fun in every segment. It's an enjoyable film, though probably much more so if you are a big fan of Italian cinema to begin with.

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow fmovies. This is one of the most beautiful comedies I've ever seen, it's simply priceless, three stories are very different but taken together they create one wonderful movie. Sophia and Marcelo in each of three stories give superb acting and each character of this 3 that they play in the movie is different from the other as it can be. I can warmly recommend this movie to anyone who like original comedies and i am sure that you will enjoy as i was.And at the end i can say only that i am sorry because they don't make movies as they use to made. I can compare this movie with some comedies of Billy Wilder or Frank Capra, because on the end of it, you have a warm feeling around your heart and you now that this movie is one of good ways to spend an evening.

This movie is made up of three separate vignettes starring Sophia Loren and Morcello Mastrianni playing three different couples. Each segment differs greatly as far as their length and quality.

The first is the longest, and for me, the least interesting. It's about a woman who continues to have baby after baby after baby in order to stay out of prison for a petty crime. Considering she ultimately had 7 kids in the process, the story seems to drag on and on. She could have done it once or twice or even three times, but the skit went on and on with not nearly enough payoff.

The second is by far the shortest and is about a selfish spoiled rich brat. It's mildly interesting but that's about all.

The final skit makes the movie. If it weren't for this one, the movie might have been scored a 4 or 5. It's about a prostitute who has turned the head of a young man in training to be a priest. At the same time, Mastriani is a customer who is again and again and again thwarted in his goal of bedding Loren. It may not sound funny based on the description, but it's very entertaining and her striptease is very sexy to say the least!

My overall impression of the movie is only fair. I think that's because I am a BIG fan of the earlier Neo-Realistic films directed by DeSica. They are almost totally different from this movie--having none of the expensive production values or polished actors. However, they were simply better movies. If you compare UMBERTO D., MIRACLE IN MILAN or any of his other Neo-Realistic films of the 40s, they show the director at the top of his form. Ieri, oggi, domani just looks contrived and ordinary in comparison.

This very enjoyable film may be a let down for someone expecting the heights of De Sica's Neorealist masterpieces like The Bicycle Thief or Two Women. However it is very funny in parts and is pointedly critical of Italian society in the boom years of the 1960s. Also Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni are absolutely stunning to watch.

For people interested in Italy it is a fascinating commentary on the country that can border on stereotype. Naples (De Sica's hometown) is warm and happy and filled with clever types ready to outwit the system and find their own way to happiness. Milan is cold, rich, and callous. Rome is dominated by the Catholic church and the State with plenty of hypocrisy and corruption. But De Sica finds some humor in all of this.

I found it a little too sentimental but well worth watching. I wish a better (undubbed) print were available. De Sica's career was given a boost by the success of the movie and he would continue to make more great films like The Garden of the Finzi-Contini's and the underrated A Brief Vacation that focus on the injustices of the State and the hardships faced by working people.
