Marriage Italian Style is a classic Italian combination of sex and humor starring two cinematic legends, Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni. When handsome, successful Domenico (Mastroianni) first meets the sexy young waif Filomena ( Loren) in Naples during World War II, he is instantly smitten. Flash forward to the postwar years, and the two meet again, sparking a passionate affair that spans two decades. But when Filomena — who has now become Domenico’s kept woman and has secretly borne his children — learns that her lover is planning to wed another, she stops at nothing to hook him into marrying her instead. Filmed at the cusp of the sexual revolution, the film uses and pokes at the stereotypical roles of men and women that were on the verge of being upended.

Part of the 2017 Nitehawk Naughties BODY POLITICS program in partnership with Babeland.
