The Betrothed
A zany comedy in the style of Italian commedia dell'arte about the planned marriage of Flaminia and Orazio by their money-grubbing fathers Pantalone and Gratiano. On the day of the wedding, the braggart warrior Captain Spavento, thought lost at sea, arrives to rescue his beloved Flaminia from the clutches of a forced marriage. Meanwhile, Spavento's sister, the fiery Isabella, arrives incognito, seeking her lost love Orazio. As the spurned lovers pursue their quests, the servants get involved, and with the help of hapless bystanders, surprising discoveries are revealed and the world is somehow happily realigned.
