Each of the episodes in the three-part Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow (Ieri, Oggi E Domani) stars Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni. In Adelina-Naples, Loren assists husband Mastroianni in his contraband-cigarette racket. Each time the authorities close in, Loren eludes capture by revealing a swollen belly; back in 1964, Italian law forbade the arrest of a pregnant woman. In Anna, Loren is the pampered wife of industrialist Mastroianni. So obsessed is she with material possessions that shes willing to walk out on her husband when her smashes her sports car. And in Mara, high-priced prostitute Loren throws over her best customer Mastroianni to save the soul of a pious client. While the first episode is the funniest, it was the last episode which received the most press-coverage, thanks to Lorens striptease scene, revealing La Loren in skimpy bra and panties. Though the title Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow has absolutely no relation to the film at hand, it is a far more appealing cognomen than the films British release title, She Got What She Asked For. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
