The second segment, directed by Visconti, is titled "The Job." It stars Romy Schneider and Tomas Milian as a young couple who must hide their marriage and the wife's apparent pregnancy from their employers.
The third segment, directed by Monicelli, is titled "The Lottery." It stars Sophia Loren as a beautiful woman who is the prize in a lottery that is held to raise money for a church.
The fourth and final segment, directed by De Sica, is titled "The Raffle." It stars Marisa Solinas and Germano Gilioli as an aristocratic couple whose marriage is tested when the domineering husband is caught by the press visiting sex workers. The wife ultimately decides to put her own life and desires before her husband's expectations.
Boccaccio '70 is considered a classic of Italian cinema, known for its vibrant colors, witty humor, and sharp social commentary. It was released in Italy in 1962 and later distributed in the United States with English subtitles.
