IERI, OGGI, DOMANI

directed by VITTORIO DE SICA, Italy 1963

Three different stories of Italian social mores are presented. In "Adelina", unemployed Carmine Sbaratti and his wife Adelina Sbaratti survive through Adelina selling black market cigarettes on the street. They are unable to pay for the furniture they bought (which is under Adelina's name), but are able to avoid the bailiff when he comes for the money or to repossess. They come up with a longer term solution to avoid Adelina being prosecuted for non-payment, but that solution has a profound effect on the family, especially Carmine. In "Anna", Anna Molteni, the spoiled wife of a successful businessman, and an artist named Renzo are on the cusp of an affair. Anna is feeling neglected in the marriage, as her husband seems more concerned about success and money than her. But a car accident shows both Anna and Renzo if an affair with each other is really what they want. In "Mara", Mara is a prostitute who works out of her apartment. She befriends Umberto, a young man visiting his grandparents who live in the adjacent apartment, the balconies of the two apartments which are adjoined. Umberto, a seminary student, seems to be attracted to Mara as a woman without really knowing what she does. Umberto's grandmother, who knows what Mara does, believes Umberto's seeming romantic infatuation with Mara will be his downfall. As Mara and Umberto's grandmother ultimately join forces to get Umberto to do the right thing in life, Augusto Rusconi, one of Mara's regular clients who is in town from Bologna, does whatever he can to get Umberto's family issues out of the way so that he can get on with his own wants with Mara. Written by Huggo.

The performances are fantastic. Although Loren was clearly cast for her looks, she also has the acting chops to play these three roles. She is completely different in each role, looking, moving, and sounding like completely different people. Mastrioanni does a fine job, clearly aware that this is not his moment in the sun. The relationship they have in each segment are totally different, so Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow never feels gimmicky. The stories have similar themes, but each one stands on its own.

Women only seem to get cast in a handful of roles, following traditional archetypes. The mother, the whore, the heiress, the nun…In this compilation, De Sica places Sophia Loren into several of these archetypes, with fascinating results. She quickly becomes the ideal image of each of these roles, but as each segment progresses that role is also parodied and ultimately deconstructed. The title suggests that these stereotypes are persistent: these ideas have been floating around for a long time, they still exist now and they aren't going anywhere. Mastrioanni stands in as the typical response to each of these women, and reveals that the male response to women may be more generic than the women themselves.

GRADING CODE

Grading is VISUAL, under a bright light.

NM (Near Mint): Record has been opened, and probably played, but is in impeccable condition. I do not use "mint".

EX (Excellent): Has signs of use or storage, but still considered top collection quality. Jackets may display some very light wear; vinyl may have a few light sleeve marks only visible in the highest light. Sound will full and clear, with little if any noise (NOTE, some records are just pressed poorly).

VG+ (Very Good Plus): Still a great copy but has a bit more wear. Vinyl may have some light scuffs or scratches, but nothing deep. Jacket may have some ringwear or seamwear. Sound should be great, with minimal if any noise.

VG Very Good): A great play copy but clearly used. Vinyl will display many hairline scuffs or scratches, but will play with a tolerable amount of noise. Jacket may have splits and wear but will not be falling apart.

VG-(Very Good Minus): A used or worn copy, that has not been taken good care of. Vinyl will have many scuffs or scratches, but play through enjoyably despite audible background noise. Covers will have tears, splits, writing, or other issues.

G Fair, Poor: A very rough copy. Will play through without skipping unless otherwise noted, although records of this grade are sold AS-IS.

DISCOMANE will guarantee an absolute conservative record grading
