"Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" (Italian: Ieri, oggi, domani) is a 1963 comedy anthology film directed by the legendary Italian filmmaker Vittorio De Sica. Produced by Carlo Ponti, the film is a co‑production between Italy's Compagnia Cinematografica Champion and France's Les Films Concordia. It stars the iconic duo Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni, whose on‑screen chemistry became legendary throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The film runs approximately 118 minutes and was released theatrically in Italy on December 19, 1963.
In the first segment, Loren plays Adelina Sbaratti, a poor but resourceful woman who sells black‑market cigarettes in Naples. Her husband, Carmine (Mastroianni), is unemployed. Adelina faces a jail sentence but discovers a clever loophole in Italian law: at the time, pregnant women could not be arrested, and the protection extended for six months after childbirth. Adelina exploits this by becoming pregnant repeatedly, effectively staying out of prison through a string of consecutive pregnancies. The episode is notable for its sharp social commentary wrapped in De Sica's signature comedic style. fylm yesterday today and tomorrow 1963 mtrjm bjwdt alyt
