Description

Shotgun weddings, kidnapping, attempted murder, emergency dental work—the things Don Vincenzo will do to restore his family's honor! Pietro Germi's _Seduced and Abandoned_ was the follow-up to his international sensation _Divorce Italian Style_, and in many ways it's even more audacious—a rollicking yet raw series of escalating comic calamities that ensue in a small village when sixteen-year-old Agnese (the beautiful Stefania Sandrelli) loses her virginity at the hands of her sister's lascivious fiance. Merciless and mirthful, _Seduced and Abandoned_ skewers Sicilian social customs and pompous patriarchies with a sly, devilish grin.
