Mastroianni and Sophia Loren, the most successful acting team in postwar Italy, perform in marvelous style in this comedy about a luscious, happy prostitute and her efforts to trick a wealthy businessman into marriage. Winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, this is another tour de force for the team of De Sica, Mastroianni and Loren. The film consists of three spicy fables aimed at giving insight into Italian morals. Voted runner-up for best movie of the '80s by a nationwide poll of critics, this film, inspired by Rilke's poetry, is both a supernatural love story and a valentine to the bleak beauty of Berlin. The film's visual excitement, intellectual and emotional range, and the richness of Nino Rota's score make it a compellingly unified vision.
