Marriage Italian Style movie scene

Sophia and Marcello love each other -- and we love them -- in Marriage Italian Style.

Kino Lorber did right by screen goddess Sophia Loren (Nine) with the release of three of her films on Blu-ray for the first time: The deliciously bawdy sex farce Marriage Italian Style (1964), the lovely comedy Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow (1963) and the melodrama Sunflower (1970) made their high-definition debuts on May 3, 2011.

All are presented in their original Italian language with English subtitles and co-star that other gorgeous Italian screen legend of yesteryear, Marcello Mastroianni (8 1/2).

Marriage Italian Style Blu-ray and Sunflower Blu-ray each carry a list price of $29.95.

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow Blu-ray was priced higher at $34.95, but it includes the feature-length documentary Vittorio D., a look at Yesterday’s director, the great Vittorio De Sica (Shoeshine).

Bonus features on the Blu-ray and DVD discs include trailers and stills galleries.

All of the films (including Vittorio D.) are available in the Sophia Loren Award Collection DVD, which has a suggested retail price of $49.95. The DVDs are not available individually, unlike the three Blu-ray discs.
