Scandal in Sorrento (original Italian title: Pane, amore e..., meaning “Bread, Love and...”) is a delightful 1955 Italian comedy film directed by Luigi Comencini. It serves as the third installment in the popular “Bread, Love” film series and notably marks a shift in the central cast and setting.
The film stars the iconic Sophia Loren as Sofia, a beautiful and feisty fishmonger, opposite the celebrated Vittorio De Sica as Marshal Antonio Carotenuto. This time, the action moves from the mountainous villages of previous installments to the picturesque coastal town of Sorrento. The plot revolves around Marshal Carotenuto’s attempts to woo the desirable Sofia, encountering comedic complications and romantic competition along the way.
Scandal in Sorrento is famed for its stunning Mediterranean scenery, Loren’s undeniable charisma, and its perfect embodiment of the lighthearted commedia all’italiana (comedy Italian style) genre.
