    Seduced and Abandoned, dir. Pietro Germi, Italy, 1964, 117 mins, 35mm, b/w, Italian subtitles w/ English. 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 ensue in a small village when sixteen-year-old 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.
