Review of Seduced and Abandoned (1964) by Lita T — 16 Mar 2008
I have not seen Divorce, Italian Style... but truly enjoyed this little black comedy from the 60s in Sicily.
Agnese is practically raped by her sister's fiance, and once her parents discover this all hell breaks out. It suddenly becomes a matter of her father wanting to cover up his daughter's defeated virginity and upcoming pregnancy.
Daddy will do almost anything including setting up Agnese's sister with a toothless suicidal baron, plotting a murder of and an engagement to the dude who raped Agnese, arranging the kidnapping of Agnese... all to the end of preserving the family honor. Agnese of course foils most of her father's ideas by simply not cooperating.
You wouldn't think a film called Seduced and Abandoned would be funny... but it sure was!
