Scola, Una giornata particolare (A Special Day) 1977
On the occasion of Adolph Hitler's visit to Rome in 1938, Antonietta's (Sophia Loren) fascist husband and her six children go to participate in the celebration while she remains at home taking care of her usual chores. When the family's pet bird escapes, her neighbor Gabriele (Marcello Mastroianni) helps her to capture it. She discovers he also chose to stay home from the parade because he is an antifascist. Throughout the day that they spend together, they reveal deep secrets about themselves as they discover that they both live lives oppressed by society and the government.

Cinema Lanzafame
Mattoli, Miseria e Nobilta' (Poverty and Nobility) 1954
The play was written by Eduardo Scarpetta in 1888. The writer Felice (Totò) and the photographer Pasquale (Enzo Turco) live in poverty, constantly bickering as they attempt to practice their respective arts. Their friend Eugenio, son of the Marquis Ottavio, convinces the two to accompany him and pretend they are aristocrats when he goes to ask for the hand of his beloved Gemma (Sophia Loren). All the double crosses, mixed messages and startling coincidences are handled with exquisite comic timing, presided over by Totò as a kind of manic ringmaster.
