synopsis
A top international cast distinguishes the leisurely-paced drama I Girovaghi (The Wanderers). Peter Ustinov stars as itinerant puppeteer Don Alfonso, who tours the provinces in the company of his wife (Carmen Del Piggio) and son (Gaetano Autiero). During a stopover in one tiny village, Don Alfonso lures a seductive dancing girl (Abbe Lane) away from another show. His subsequent romance with the girl comes acropper when she skips with his receipts. Chastened -- and somewhat bethumped by the girl's new male companions -- the wandering Don Alfonso returns to his incredibly patient and forgiving wife. But has he really learned his lesson?
