"Seduced and Abandoned" (Italian original title: "Sedotta e abbandonata") is a 1964 Italian language comedy film directed by Pietro Germi.

ynopsis

The film presents the tale of Agnese Ascalone, daughter of prominent miner Vincenzo Ascalone, and takes place in a small town in Sicily, as was Germi's previous film "Divorce, Italian Style". Agnese is seduced by her sister Matilde's fiance, and has a tryst with him for which she confesses and tries to repent, only to be discovered by her mother and father. Vincenzo immediately demands that the man, Peppino Califano, marry his daughter, and antics ensue. The film is a dark satire of Sicilian social customs and honor laws, and is very similar to "Divorce, Italian Style".
