Vittorio De Sica directs Sophia Loren, Marcello Mastroianni and Aldo Giuffrè in this Italian comedy anthology where the two handsome leads play three different couples in a crisis.

A mixed bag (the middle story about a car journey goes nowhere) that all showcase Loren’s magnificent beauty and Mastroianni’s ability to mug charmingly. The first story where Loren exhausts her husband by needing to stay constantly pregnant to avoid a prison sentence has the most laughs and political bite. The final story ends with an iconic striptease and some decent cat action. Throwaway but bella.
