I Dream of Jeannie: This Is Murder (1966) (TV)

Synopsis [spoilers]: Tony is assigned to escort a Middle Eastern princess on a visit to the United States. When Jeannie sees her photo she recognizes an enemy of ages ago -- their respective families have an old feud; Jeannie swore to kill her, and is determined to do so. Tony lies to Jeannie, saying that the visit was postponed for a year and then sends Jeannie on three different tasks around the world -- to make him a yacht on the desert of Gobi, a ski station in Bermuda, and a pineapple plantation in Alaska. He expects the princess to be gone by the time Jeannie gets back from her assignments. However, she finishes earlier than expected and the princess is still there. The two women have an argument and the princess leaves the premises. Jeannie is so furious she turns Tony into a parrot, and leaves. When she comes back, she is calmer and turns him back into human form. She says that she has given up her murderous intentions, after she had a talk with the princess -- after all, the two of them had something in common: their love for Tony. Roger asks Tony if he can have the yacht, the ski station and the pineapple plantation. Jeannie turns him into a parrot.

Saw it dubbed in Portuguese.
