The Seduction of Mimi (1972)

Poster for The Seduction of Mimi

He's been a husband, a lover, a cuckold and a Communist. Now he just wants to be free.

Voting against the Mafia in what he thinks is a secret ballot costs Sicilian laborer Mimi his livelihood. He leaves his wife, flees to Turin and romances a Communist organizer - but he just can’t shake the Mafia. When they lure Mimi back to Sicily with a better job, he must keep his lover – and love child – under wraps. That’s when his wife announces she’s pregnant.
