My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Yesterday, Today And Tomorrow [Ieri, oggi, domani] (1963)

Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni play three sets of lovers in a comedic film directed by Vittorio De Sica.  The first story of the three is my favorite, telling the story of a poor couple who keep having kids to keep the police from sending Sophia's character to jail for selling illegal cigarettes.  The second story is an amusing tale of a rich woman and the man she's having an affair with going for a drive.  The third story is about a prostitute and her "number one" client saving a young man by convincing him to become a priest.  It's light entertainment and watching Loren and Mastroianni together is magical; they really have great chemistry.  Winner of the Oscar for Best Foreign Language film of that year, I can't say it really deserves the award yet but it's certainly a fun movie.  Grade: B+
