Boccaccio '70 (Special Edition) (1962)

  
Format:  Boccaccio '70  BLU-RAY 
 
 
Four of Italy's most renowned filmmakers contributed to this collection of hilariously racy shorts. In Vittorio De Sica's "The Raffle," Sophia Loren stars as a woman who stirs up quite a controversy when she puts herself up as first prize in a lottery; a young woman (Romy Schneider) falls for her lecherous employer (Tomas Milian) in Luchino Visconti's "The Job"; Anita Ekberg is a pin-up girl who comes to life, much to the delight of professor Peppino De Filippo, in Federico Fellini's "The Temptation of Dr. Antonio"; and Mario Monicelli's "Renzo & Luciana," originally cut from the American theatrical release, focuses on a young newlywed couple desperately trying to find the time to be alone together. 3 1/2 hrs. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Italian Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English; poster gallery; photo gallery; theatrical trailer. In Italian with English subtitles.
 
Please note that titles in the Blu-ray format will not play on a standard DVD player.
