Especially when lovely Valeria Billi sets her dark brown eyes and romantic designs on him. Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni show why they are among the screenâs most celebrated duos in this film thatâs part romantic comedy, part exploration of human and clerical frailties and 100% shiny star vehicle produced by Lorenâs filmmaker husband Carlo Ponti. Loren, The New York Times later noted, âalternately married, divorced, seduced and pined after [Mastroianni] in a total of 12 movies. Of these the most famous were Marriage, Italian Style; The Priestâs Wife; and Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.â
