Product Description
Product Description
Teaming three of the biggest icons in Italian cinema history, Marriage Italian Style sees the legendary Vittorio De Sica directing the great Marcello Mastroianni and one of the most beautiful women to ever grace the screen, Sophia Loren in a tale of vivid characters and the foibles of their sex. The film centres on a well to do, middle class couple who appear to have life just as they like it. The problem arises when Domenico's (Mastroianni) mistress (Loren) grows tired of living her life on the side, and seeks to become a more prominent feature in his life. De Sica has created some of the most important films of the neorealistic age. His best received picture was The Bicycle Thieves, while the multi-award winning Two Women, widely regarded as a classic, garnered Sophia Loren an Oscar for her performance. Screen siren Loren, an internationally renowned figure of culture, is widely regarded to be one of the most beautiful women to have ever lived. She has performed alongside icons such as Charlton Heston, Paul Newman and Charlie Chaplin (in his last film).

I first saw this movie in my youth, before having lived in Italy or speaking the language fluently. I loved it then and now that i understand all its nuances and I am fluent in Italian (whether Neapolitan, Sicilian or any of the many dialects) I must classify it as a MASTERPIECE. It is funny yet manages to accurately portray the customs and peculiarities of life in this amazing country. Of course with top class actors like handsome, thoroughly masculine Marcello and expressive, beautiful Sophia in the lead roles it was bound to be a success.
Ladies and gentlemen, play this DVD in the correct equipment and you will be delighted. Marriage Italian Style (Matrimonio all'italiana) - (Mr Bongo Films) (1964) [DVD ]

Such are the bare outlines of the plot, but a simple description doesn't do justice to the Edoardo de Filippo play, which is a funny, subtle and moving account of love between a Neapolitan couple during the 1950s and 1960s. De Sica gives the story the full works: lush and vivid colour photography, sentimental background music and huge emphasis on the romantic are combined to provide a showcase for the justly famous partnership (famous in the 1960s, anyway) of Marcello Mastroianni and Sophia Loren.
The principal actors give what is possibly the most marvellous of their many comedic double acts, and if you want to see why their cinematic partnership was so famous, look no further. Mastroianni captures the character of the faithless and louche Neapolitan businessman to absolute perfection; Loren, then at the very top of her form, gives an intelligent and quite moving portrayal of the exploited mistress. Never was she more sexy than she is in this film, but Loren was (and is) a highly intelligent and thoroughly professional actress, and the intelligence shines through just as much as the sex appeal.
Not everyone will like De Sica's heavily saccharine interpretation, but this after all is a romantic Neapolitan comedy set in Naples, and an over-the-top treatment is surely not out of place. In the background, we see tantalizing glimpses of Naples at its most baroque. The heavy and ornate interiors, typical of Naples and much of southern Italy, form highly authentic settings and are fascinating in their own right. Meanwhile the noise and bustle of the streets outside, and the sunny exterior shots generally, remind us that in the 1960s, Italian culture demonstrated a zest for life and a dynamism and hopefulness that have since rather withered on the vine.
The remastered wide-screen version has been generally well done, and the colours are almost as good as new. The sound on my DVD copy, while acceptable, was occasionally rather shrill. Recommended, and an essential buy for all serious devotees of the Italian cinema of the 1960s.
But this is the best we have right now, until someone like Criterion or Bfi goes into action, and I, for one, am very glad to have it.
