Somewhat daring, somewhat different, somewhat delicious... "; "which Boccaccio might have included in his 'Decameron' for understanding audiences of 1970."; "Vittorio De Sica directs Academy Award Winner Sophia Loren"; "Federico Fellini directs Anita Ekberg"; "Luchino Visconti directs Romy Schneider"; "'The Raffle', 'The Temptation of Dr. Antonio', 'The Job'") starring Sophia Loren, Anita Ekberg, Romy Schneider, Peppino DeFilippo, Tomas Milian, Romolo Valli, and Alfio Vita. The three sections in the U.S. version of this movie are: "The Raffle", "The Temptation of Dr. Antonio", and "The Job", but actually, the original Italian version has 4 parts, with the 4th being "Renzo & Luciana" directed by Mario Monicelli. When the movie was released in the U.S. and Germany, Monicelli's contribution was deleted, likely because the film ran too long and because he was not known outside of Italy. So the original Italian posters show four directors in director chairs, while the U.S. and German posters only show three! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that pressbooks were prepared prior to a movie being released. Often, changes would be made in a movie advertising campaign (billing of actors, different images, etc.), and the theaters would print up special supplements that they would send out with the pressbooks that had already been printed. These supplements are very rare, far more rare than the pressbooks themselves! Some pressbooks would have no supplements, some would have one, and some would have several. Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. Learn More about condition grades
