This film is great you get to see Naples in 1964 when it was 100% Italian.
However outdoor shooting is limited--it is mostly shot on low budget sets which make things a little oppressive and limited.
Loren works as a hooker and has a 22 year relation with Marcello--- you have to suspend disbelief here. Sophia looks too classy not at all like a hardened hooker--still it is cute amusing story.
The music is perfect you will feel good after watching this film.
My solution to todays PC formula world is to rent something made before 1965.
Sunflower is another good film of the same type but the cinematography is much better.
