This is a publicity shot from one of her peplums, though the dress doesn't exactly match any of her costumes. I would guess at La rivolta degli schiavi (1960)

Quella (1957) TV movie, credited, as Marghe. This title does not appear in any of Wandisa's online filmographies as far as I have found.

Wandisa's entry in the Annuario degli attori 1984-85, suggesting that she was seeking further acting work after her one-movie comeback in Assassinio al cimitero etrusco (1982) but perhaps unable to find it due to having been out of the business for 16 years...

Wandisa appears in the four-part TV mini series Il vicario di Wakefield (1959), based on the novel by Irish writer Oliver Goldsmith, in the role of Sophia. This production isn't available anywhere online, but the TV magazine Radiocorriere TV n. 46 (15 November 1959) presents various stills and captions from the series, including this one featuring Wandisa

Radiocorriere's TV listings also includes the full casts lists for all four episodes and Wandisa is credited with appearing in all four. Here's the cast list for Episode 1

A little article with some biographical informations, taken from Radiocorriere TV n. 1 (3 January 1960)
Radiocorriere 1 1960 - Wandisa Guida.jpg

And Wandisa's biography in the book Dizionario del cinema italiano: Le attrici (2003)
Dizionario Wandisa1.jpg
Dizionario Wandisa2.jpg
Dizionario Wandisa3.jpg

This biography, written by Enrico Lancia, states that Wandisa appeared in a large quantity of films, but summarily dismisses everyone of them as being "fairly insignificant". This dismissive attitude towards genre films is displayed by Lancia and his co-author Roberto Poppi throughout the entire book, and is very off-putting. Quite a lot of Wandisa's TV roles get a mention, though. Perhaps because these productions allowed her a greater opportunity to demonstrate her range as a dramatic actress.

Curiously, Wandisa's marriage to producer Luciano Martino is not mentioned. However, I found this short notice in the newspaper La Stampa from 29 December 1961, announcing their marriage which took place the day before

One of Wandisa's first acting roles was in the TV movie Il serpente a sonagli, broadcast on 19 October 1956, in which she plays the role of Maddy. It doesn't appear to be available anywhere, but the full cast list is included in the TV listing in the Radiocorriere TV magazine

Another early TV credit for Wandisa was Non scherzate coi fiammiferi, a TV show in three episodes that was shown from 5th to 19th January 1957. Wandisa co-hosted the show together with Gianni Agus. Here's the Radiocorriere TV listing for the third episode, including a picture of Wandisa
