Vittorio De Sica directs Sophia Loren, Marcello Mastroianni and Aldo Puglisi in this Italian romantic comedy charting the tumultuous long term relationship between a cad and his kept woman.

Really fun this. A decades spanning relationship told from both conflicting points of view. An enjoyable extreme melodramatic final act. Mastroianni’s mugging when the penny finally drops. Bellissimo!
