名导演维托里奥·德·西卡所导演的本片是一部群星喜剧戏，它可以分为三部。第一部讲述的是，一个在黑市里专门卖外国香烟的女人从未尝过铁窗的滋味，因为当时法律规定不逮捕怀孕的妇女和产后六个月的妇女。所以在产后，就催丈夫作爱，因此逃过了入狱的命运，不过最后因怀孕失败还是走进了监狱。第二部讲述一位富婆迷恋比她年轻的作家，二人一次开着高级轿车兜风，因二人气氛热烈而导致撞车，富婆顿觉索然无味，遂拦车扬长而去。第三部讲述一位高级妓女与一位神学院的学生相恋，妓女摆脱了恩客的纠缠，但经不住神学院学生的老父母恳求而不得不与学生分手。学生走后，其恩客仍被打入冷宫。本片分别以三个都市的风格为代表，充分地刻划出意大利人的气质，男女主角都有精湛的演出。

The curtain opens on Domenico Soriano, 50, a wealthy Neapolitan shop-keeper who is raging against Filumena, 48, a former prostitute. They lived together for 26 years as husband and wife and she has cheated him, pretending to be near to death, and convincing him to marry her in extremis. Domenico, however, would rather marry Diana, a young girl, who is already in the house pretending to be a nurse. Filumena reveals the real reason for the marriage to Domenico: she wants to create a family for her three children (Umberto, Michele and Riccardo) who have no idea of who their mother really is.
Domenico is not going to allow this and asks his lawyer, Nocella, to annul the marriage. Filumena speaks to the young men telling them that she is their mother. Filumena accepts the defeat of the annulment, but tells Domenico that one of the three children is actually his. All attempts to find out who his son is fails, and Domenico, after 10 months remarries Filumena accepting to be the father of all three.
In the play Filumena memorably tells Domenico that "Children are children, and they're all equal" (I figli sono figli e sono tutti uguali).

The latter is a rail-sweeper who becomes a professional stand-in...a corpse used to conceal contraband...serving jail time for those who don't care to spend the time to do the time...a substitute at a political rally when violence threatens the scheduled speaker
