Uma Mulher para Sábado (1970)

*spoilers*

Nando and Loco are long-time friends. Loco is a visual artist coming from a rich family; Nando gave up his artistic career and now works as a sales rep. Nando has a girlfriend but does not want a commitment. He meets Dorianne at a party and feels attracted to her. Loco sets up a week-end at his beach house with Nando and two women, one of whom happens to be Dorianne. Nando sleeps with Dorianne; Loco has no such luck with the other woman. After they return, Nando does not want to pursue a relationship with Dorianne. Loco decides to give in to his father's pressures and take a position at his company. He asks Dorianne in marriage. Nando goes back with his girlfriend.

This is a mostly badly directed film. It also has some very ludicrous dialogue, spoken in a strangely awkward manner (I wonder whether the actors were dubbed by other persons). In spite of that, the basic plot line shows some promise and we at least can imagine the better film this could have been.

Rating: 34
