Anna Maria Mentorsi takes her daughter on a vacation to a beautiful seaside resort on the Mediterranean to get away from life in the city.

But when she spurns the advances of a wealthy business man, he threatens to reveal a secret that could ruin all her plans.
Director: Alberto Lattuada.
Stars: Carlo Bianco, Martine Carol, Mario Carotenuto, Clelia Matania, Carlo Romano, Raf Vallone, Giovanni Aonzo, Carla Arrigoni, Ugo Attanasio, Anna Bassi, Paolino Baulino, Mara Berni, Marco Ferreri. AKA The Boarder
Lattuada isn’t as well known as Comencini, Scola, Monicelli but he cerainly deserves to be (re)discovered.
In the last few days I watched La Spiaggia, Il capotto, Mafioso, I dolci inganni. All of them good or remarkable movies. A good ten are available on Youtube or ok.ru with English or Spanish subtitles.
Let’s hope that one day we can find them all on Rarefilmm.
Thanks to the Rarefilmm team.
