Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow (Sophia Loren Award Collection) (1964)

Most of the Amazon reviews linked to this new Region 1 DVD from NoShame films refer to the awful bootleg versions that have been previously available. Ignore them!

This DVD is gorgeous with a beautiful 16x9 Widescreen (2.35:1) high definition transfer. There is an Italian track with optional English subtitles. There is also the option to choose the English dubbed track if you want to.

NoShame is also releasing a pristine version of the Fellini/Visconti/DeSica multi-part comedy Boccaccio '70 completely uncut for the first time ever in the U.S. The long missing Mario Monicelli segment has finally been restored as well!

I bought this because it looked like a good deal but I had no way of knowing that it was dubbed. I had originally seen both films in Italian with subtitles...and both truly are wonderful films (Sophia won Best Actress for Two Women). If they only included the information (dubbed or subtitled) I would have been able to make an informed decision instead of taking a shot in the dark. Obviously, I'm not happy with the dubbed version. Oh, and also, the quality of the video is less than great.

Ignore the reviews of the bootleg DVD; this new digital transfer from the internegative is lush and clean. There is both a subtitled Italian audio track and a English dubbed version. No comment is needed about the film; time has proved its value.

Please view this extraordinary picture and compare it to modern sex comedies; you might conclude that we haven't advanced the art of film over this wonderful production. Buy, enjoy and spread the word.

Read Best Reviews of Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow (Sophia Loren Award Collection) (1964) Here

I believe the Amazon.com Editorial Review is self explanatory. This film is a masterpiece, an important component of Sofia Loren's filmography and one of her most admired performances.

Now let's address this DVD release! It was apparently transfered from deteriorated film elements, horrendous (jolts) pan and scan with an annoying monophonic dubbed soundtrack. This DVD release does not do justice to this Italian cinematographic jewel. It should not be in the market. Perhaps it is best to visit Italy, buy its PAL version and play it back in one of today's fine multi region DVD players. Don't spend a penny on this monstruosity.

Not paying attention to the reviews, I purchased the Entertainment Programs International release of Yesterday today and tomorrow. This is a classic of Italian cinema. Well worth owning for any fans of european cinema. I am however not impressed with this transfer and urge buyers to look to the widescreen, No Shame release. I own boccaccio '70 (another Italian classic) from No Shame And it has excellent audio and video quality.
