Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
Lo Chiameremo Andrea is an Italian comedy by famed director Vittorio De Sica. It tells the story of Paolo (Nino Manfredi) and Maria (Mariangela Melato) two elementary schoolteachers whose "biological clock" is ticking. They have been married for some time, and desperately want a child of their own. So powerful is this desire that Maria suffers for a while from a hysterical pregnancy. The film focuses on their efforts to overcome sterility and the humor to be found in the affectionate lack of understanding each has for the other .
