Four episodes, each directed by a giant of Italian cinema, Boccaccio '70 features some of the most beautiful women to ever grace the screen, unapologetically taking charge of their lives, their loves and their morals, though not always with the happiest of results.

Beginning with what has come to be regarded as the lost film of Boccaccio '70, due to only having ever been released in the Italian version of the picture previously, Mario Monicelli (La Grande Guerra) tells the story of Renzo and Luciana, two working class lovers who have to keep their impending nuptials a secret to avoid the sack. The second short, directed by Federico Fellini (8 1/2) and starring the ravishing Anita Ekberg (La Dolce Vita) sees a prudish censor trying to ban a 100 foot high billboard of Ekberg, only to find himself taunted and hounded by its sensual gaze. The third playlet, by Luchino Visconti (Rocco and His Brothers, The Leopard), follows Pupe (Romy Schneider – What's New Pussycat?) who discovers her husband having an affair. A scandal ensures, only to be exacerbated further when the well to-do Pupe reveals she is getting a job. The final short, by Vittorio De Sica (Shoeshine), stars the greatest siren in cinema history, Sophia Loren as Zoe, a model selling her body for sex in order to pay her pregnant sisters' overdue taxes. But when she falls for a local stable boy, she wants to renege on the deal, desiring to feel true passion without a price for the first time.

Boccaccio '70 will be released on UK DVD on 11 May 2009 by Mr. Bongo Films at the RRP of £9.99. No extras have been confirmed as yet.

Teaming two of the biggest icons in Italian cinema history, Marriage Italian Style (Matrimonio all'Italiana) sees the legendary Vittorio De Sica directing one of the beautiful women to ever grace the screen, Sophia Loren in a tale of vivid characters and the foibles of their sex. The film centres on a well to do, middle class couple (Loren and Marcello Mastroianni – 8 1/2), who appear to have life just as they like it. The problem arises when Domenico's (Mastroianni) mistress grows tired of living her life on the side, and seeks to become a more prominent feature in his life.

A critically acclaimed and world-renowned director, De Sica created some of the most important films of the neorealistic age. His best received picture was The Bicycle Thieves, while the multi-award winning La Ciociara, widely regarded as a classic, garnered Sophia Loren an Oscar for her performance.

Marriage Italian Style will be released on DVD on 11 May 2009 by Mr. Bongo Films at the RRP of £9.99.
