Ekteskap på italiensk (1964)

Description

Sica's hugely successful Oscar-nominated erotic voyage through one man's womanizing life pitts the greatest actors of Italian cinema against each other. Sica's finest screen actors Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni. Domenico (Marcello Mastroianni) first meets 17-year-old prostitute Filumena (Sophia Lauren) in a Neapolitan brothel in the 2nd World War. After the war they become lovers on and off for 22 years. Domenico eventually rents an apartment for Filumena and even lets her run his shop but is always chasing other women. Finally Filumena asks Dominico to marry her on her deathbed, just before he had planned to marry his young cashier, and admits he had his first legitimate child. Domenico uses different subterfuges trying to find which teenager might be his son.
