Cinema: Ieri, oggi, domani
SBS on demand is screening a gem of a classic of Italian cinema released in 1963, directed by the great Vittorio De Sica, which won the Oscar for best foreign movie in 1965: Ieri, oggi,
domani .

The movie is divided into three independent episodes each featuring Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni as the main protagonists. The first 
episode, set in Naples, is truly delight-ful and apparently based on a real person! The second episode is skip-pable, whilst the third episode features one of the greatest striptease scenes of all time! Below is a 1977 interview with both in which you can sense how close they are - not in a romantic sense; in fact Loren comes accross as Mastroianni's older sister, protective of him but also happy to warmheartedly tease him! - and one can only marvel at Sophia Loren's intelligence, beauty, and her English, which is truly what we would like your Italian to be like!
