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 delightful and apparently based on a real person! The second episode is skippable, 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 across as Mastroianni's older sister, protective of him but also happy to warm heartedly 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!
