Rita the American Girl
Rita the American Girl (Italian: Rita, la figlia americana) is a 1965 Italian "musicarello" film directed by Piero Vivarelli with Totò and Rita Pavone.[1] PlotProfessor Serafino Benvenuti (Totò) is a classical director of limited talents. He is dismayed at the growing popularity of beat music, which he hears daily from a youth club across the street (whose houseband is The Rokes). Hoping to pass on the classical tradition to the next generation, Benvenuti decides to adopt an orphaned child from Chile, who unexpectedly turns out to be the 18-year-old Rita d’Angelo (Rita Pavone). Rita, however, is more in-tune with the contemporary pop sounds of the day than the classical tradition of her adoptive father, leading to conflict. Cast
