Not a comedy, but a good drama
"Marriage Italian Style" is not a comedy in my opinion even though it is often billed as such. This surprised me, I was expecting to see a more silly movie and instead got a pretty serious drama which was well acted and interesting. So I will recommend this film as a drama, but not if you're looking for a silly comedy. I did enjoy it though, especially toward the end when it all came together. You can see that there was some real emotion in here about children knowing their fathers and having legitimacy and their mothers being wed and taken care of, an issue Ms. Loren and her mother dealt with in real life I believe from what I read. And Marcello Mastroianni seemed equally fit to his role in this film as well. So in summary, a well acted Italian drama that I rate a 7/10.
