Seduced and Abandoned (Italian: Sedotta e abbandonata) is a 1964 Italian comedy-drama film directed by Pietro Germi. The film is a dark satire of Sicilian social custom of bride kidnapping presented as elopement, and the Italian laws of the time on honor killing and "honor-repairing wedding".
It belongs to a trilogy on Italian customs with Divorce, Italian Style and The Birds, the Bees and the Italians.
The film was screened at the 1964 Cannes Film Festival, where the lead actor Saro Urzì won a Palme d'Or. It also won a National Board of Review Award.
