A Special Day

On the historic day in 1938 when Rome first rolls out the red carpet for Adolf Hitler, an unexpected friendship blossoms between a conservative housewife tending to her domestic duties and a liberal radio broadcaster awaiting deportation.
Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni deliver two of the finest performances of their careers in this moving, quietly subversive drama from Ettore Scola (1931-2016).
