Marriage Italian Style (1964)
Filumena is the lifetime mistress of a wealthy playboy who is planning to leave her and marry another woman. She will do anything in her power to stop this and marry her instead, including revealing that she's had three children that she kept hidden from him and one of them is his. But which one?

        I loved it!
        Well I think that you should watch this wonderful Italian film. It is taken from the comedy "Filumena Marturano" by Eduardo De Filippo. Marcello Mastroianni is superb and Sophia Loren is excellent. It's a pity she didn't won the second Oscar as best actress of this film.

        The title-song "'O cielo ce manna 'sti 'ccose" by Fred Bongusto is absolutely wonderful.
