A Viúva Virgem (1972)

In a small town, a woman becomes a rich widow on her wedding night. She travels to Rio and meets a fortune seeker. She keeps having visions of her late husband.

Erotic comedy. The script is clearly dated, and gets progressively more absurd as the movie advances. Some of the ideas are funny, such as the institution of a stock market for the male protagonist's marrying enterprise. Overall, however, the film is not really funny. The actors seem to be having a good time while being on it, and this somehow makes the film endurable.

The plot bears some similarity with that of La viudita naviera (1962).

Rating: 34
