Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow (Ieri, oggi, domani)
Vittorio De Sica, Sophia Loren, and Marcello Mastroianni—who collaborated on Too Bad She’s Bad (1954) a decade prior—reunite for a tryptic of stories that saw wild box office success (over $8 million in 1963) and resulted in the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 37th Oscars ceremony. Both Loren and Mastroianni star in each episode as lovers in Naples, Milan, and Rome respectively, with Loren showcasing her versatility as a criminal who welcomes multiple pregnancies to avoid jail time; a materialistic industrialist’s wife; and, in the film’s most iconic sequence, a strip-teasing escort.

Human Voice (Voce umana)
Loosely adapted from Jean Cocteau’s monologue-based drama for the stage, La voix humaine, and relocated to 1950s Naples, this poignant short finds Angela (Sophia Loren) recalling a love lost years ago, told through flashbacks and over the phone with an unheard person. Directed by Loren and famed producer Carlo Ponti’s son, Voce umana reminds us of the painful power of longing and reinforces the ongoing legacy of a screen diva.
