Review Summary
A ripe 19-year-old virgin fights to keep her virtue and retain her free-spirited ways during WW II. Set in an ancient, remote

Neapolitan village, Miluzza is the lovely pubescent daughter of the glorious Nunziata, a nymphomaniac who is surprisingly well

tolerated by her husband and her normally conservative neighbors. Nunziata and Miluzza lead an idyllic life until the Allies bomb

their village. During the shelling Nunziata is killed in a manner that would make Freud proud. Afterward, Miluzza gets work at a

tomato sauce factory where the owner, enticed by an accidental peak at her underwear attempts to seduce her in a local hotel.

With her reputation thus ruined, life for Miluzza becomes a struggle to fight the gossip mongers and those who would rape her

until she encounters Pietro, a handsome wounded soldier who offers her a better life.

That sounds like a good movie. That will be another movie added to my list.

I've read the book and it was very interesting, if I find it I'll give it a try.
