Illibatezza ("Chastity") by Roberto Rossellini is a story of a beautiful stewardess who attracts unwanted attention from one of the air travelers – a middle aged American. By chance, the two stay in the same hotel overnight. She has a fiancé back home, to whom she sends 8mm films made with her camera. These show how, in order to shoo away the unwanted flirtatious attentions of the traveler, all she had to do was to act in an aggressively provocative way; his sexual attraction being fueled by the shyness with which she initially tried to endure his advances.
