The definitive Sophia Loren box set, showcasing her lifetime achievement with her four most awarded films - including her Best Actress Oscar which made her the first artist to win an Oscar for a foreign-language performance (Two Women). This Blu-ray set includes her most notable 1960's performances, where she's also joined by the Award-winning Marcello Mastroianni. Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow (1963), won the Oscar for Best Foreign Film. Marriage, Italian Style (1964) earned Loren another Oscar nomination. The later A Special Day (also Oscar nominated) is a moving, must see film by Ettore Scola which Loren describes as her favourite film. Both Loren and co-star Mastroianni, who both played against their (impossibly) glamorous image, agreed this was the highlight of their acting careers!

With a career that has spanned six decades and been honored with 50 awards, Sophia Loren remains one of the most beloved and recognisable figures in the international film world. The Academy awarded Loren another Oscar in 1991 for her body of work and was declared by the Oscar Academy itself "one of world cinema's greatest treasures".

Two Women (1960)
Loren plays widowed shopkeeper Cesira during WWII. After the Allied bombing of Rome she leaves behind her grocery store and goes back to her hometown in the mountains with her young teenage daughter Rosetta (Eleonora Brown) where she believes they will both be safe. Once there Cesira forms a bond with an intellectual named Michele (Jean-Paul Belmondo), who becomes a father figure to Rosetta. However, once Michele is captured by German soldiers Cesira attempts to return to Rome as she does all she can to safeguard the innocence of her daughter from the horrors of war.

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow (1963)
A sparklingly original comedy that casts Marcello Mastroianni and Sophia Loren in three different stories set throughout Italy. In Naples, they are poor but resourceful, selling black market cigarettes on the streets. In Milan, Loren is costumed in Christian Dior and debates her preference for a Rolls Royce or her husband. And in Rome, Mastroianni is an industry scion who helps Loren's prostitute set a wavering priest back onto the spiritual plane and features Sophia's famous striptease. Witty and unforgettable, this gem from master filmmaker Vittorio de Sica is picture-postcard beautiful and effortlessly hilarious.

Marriage Italian Style (1964)
Filumena (Loren) lives a comfortable life as the mistress of successful businessman Domenico (Mastroianni), whom she first met aged 17 when she was working in a brothel. However, when Domenico becomes engaged to another woman Filumena feigns illness. Filumena then, pretending to be on her deathbed, asks Domenico to marry her and he agrees only because he believes she has days left to live. Once Filumena reveals her deception she also opens up about having three sons and uses them as a ruse to keep Domenico interested in her.

A Special Day (1977)
Set in 1938 on the day when Hitler visited Rome to meet with Mussolini. Housewife Antonietta (Loren) stays at home while her husband and children go to see the fascist leaders paraded through the streets of Rome. When their pet myna bird escapes into a neighbouring apartment Antonietta goes to retrieve it and strikes up a conversation with Gabriele (Mastroianni). Despite their marked differences of opinion the pair spend the day together and the encounter becomes one neither will forget.
