What Seduced and Abandoned Is About
A Sicilian family learns that one daughter has been seduced by her sister's fiancé, and from that moment everyone is occupied solely with saving the family's honour. The remedy comes from the statute book: Italian criminal law of the period allowed the offence to be extinguished if the man married the woman. Pietro Germi turns that clause into a comic engine and finds his targets in institutions, the family, the church, the town, the law. Saro Urzì's father destroys his own household in pursuit of his dignity. Stefania Sandrelli plays the daughter and carries the only real pain in it. Germi's humour is merciless and the laugh keeps sticking in the throat. Who it is for: viewers who like Italian social satire and sixties black comedy. Who it is not for: anyone expecting big laughs, since this is fundamentally a display of anger.
