| | | A Film By Pietro Germi.
Features: DVD, Italian, English, Subtitled
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, The Conformist, Jamon Jamon) 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 devilish grin.System Requirements:Running Time 117 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE
Editor's Note
A stern Sicilian patriarch struggles to save face in the midst of a family crisis sparked by the unfortunate impregnation of his youngest daughter by the rakish fiancee of his oldest daughter.
