The film was received favorably . The '' New York Times '' noted that it was the fourth quality collaboration between director Vittorio di Sica and Sophia Loren , and the second to include Marcello Mastroianni in the mix , the " warmup " for this movie having been 1963 's '' Yesterday , Today and Tomorrow '' . The review described it as a " wonderfully flamboyant " film , and provided some context for the film , noting that Naples ( at least in 1964 ) was " a quite unusual place , where the people are highly individual and may have bizarre relationships . " The film was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film in 1965 and Loren for Best Actress in a Leading Role in 1964 .
