Marriage Italian Style

Sophia Loren as Filumena Marturano and Marcello Mastroianni as Domenico Soriano star in this 1964 romantic comedy-drama set during World War II, where a cynical businessman helps a naive young prostitute, who spends the next two decades desperate to have him reciprocate her feelings. After falling for a younger woman, Filumena feigns illness and tricks Domenico into marrying her, but they soon realize that they truly love each other and decide to rekindle their relationship.
