portmanteau film directed byMario Monicelli ,Federico Fellini ,Luchino Visconti andVittorio de Sica , from an idea byCesare Zavattini . It is an anthology of four episodes, each by one of the directors, all about a different aspect ofmorality andlove in modern times, in the style of Boccaccio.The four original episodes were:
* "Renzo e Luciana" (by Mario Monicelli) withMarina Solinas andGermano Gilioli .
* "Le tentazioni del dottor Antonio" (by Federico Fellini) withPeppino de Filippo andAnita Ekberg .
* "Il lavoro" (by Luchino Visconti) withRomy Schneider andTomas Milian .
* "La riffa" (by Vittorio de Sica) withSophia Loren .The first episode, by Monicelli, was only present in the Italian distribution of the film. Out of solidarity towards Monicelli, the other three directors did not go to the
Cannes Film Festival for the presentation of the film.External links
