Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Loud, prolonged laughter is the order of the day in the Italian Il Trionfo Dell'Amore (Triumph of Love). Vittorio de Sica and Paolo Barbara play Vincenzo and Giovanna, newlyweds who can't help but feel that their marriage may have been a mistake. While on their honeymoon at the villa of Vincenzo's Aunt Lucia (Giuditta Rissone), the couple remains apart, planning an annulment. They change their minds after observing Aunt Lucia's own romantic escapades with her "ideal" sweetheart and her more sensible hometown beau. Most of the laughs are generated by Enrico Viarisino as Giangiacomo, Vincenzo's accident-prone best friend.
