A SPECIAL DAY.  1977. Apple TV, Amazon, YouTube. Starring Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni. 100% Rotten Tomatoes.

On May 4, 1938, the day Hitler visits Mussolini in Rome, Antonietta, a naïve, sentimental and overworked homemaker, stays home doing her usual domestic tasks, while her fascist husband, Emanuele, and their six spoiled children take to the streets to follow a parade. The building is empty, except for the caretaker Pauletta, and a neighbor across the complex, a charming man named Gabriele.
