Description
Shotgun weddings, kidnapping, attempted murder, emergency dental work—the things Don Vincenzo will do to restore his family’s honor! In many ways it’s even more audacious than Divorce, Italian Style — a rollicking yet raw series of escalating comic calamities that ensue in a small village when sixteen-year-old Agnese (Sandrelli) loses her virginity to her sister’s lascivious fiance. With Stefania Sandrelli, Saro Urzì, Aldo Puglisi.
