Nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Natalie Wood), Best Writing, Story and Screenplay - Written Directly for the Screen, and Best Cinematography at the **Academy Awards**. Nominated for Best Actress - Drama (Natalie Wood) and Best Actor - Drama (Steve McQueen) at the **Golden Globes**. *"...

Summary 
This **Oscar-winning**, sparklingly original comedy casts Marcello Mastroianni and Sophia Loren in three different stories set throughout Italy. In Naples, they are poor but resourceful, selling black market cigarettes on the streets. In Milan, Loren is costumed in Christian Dior and debates her preference for a Rolls Royce or her husband. And in Rome, Mastroianni is an industry scion who helps Loren's prostitute set a wavering priest back onto the spiritual plane. Witty and unforgettable, this gem from master filmmaker Vittorio de Sica (*Two Women*, *Marriage Italian Style*) is picture-postcard beautiful and effortlessly hilarious. Winner of Best Foreign Language Film at the 1964 **Academy Awards**. Mastroianni's perfomance also won Best Foreign Actor at the 1965 **BAFTA** Film Awards.
