(1973) Based on the play of the same name by Nelson Rodrigues. Winner of many awards including Best Film at the Gramado Film Festival. Recommended for viewers 16 years or older. This region-free DVD is formatted to be played in any country. Imported from Brazil.

Synopsis
The film is a mixture of melodrama and comedy. It draws a portrait of the moral hypocracy of the middle class and revolves around the family of a widower (Paulo Porto), who swore never to remarry, but who becomes infatuated with a prostitute (Darlene Gloria), which sends his son, his parents, and himself into a delirious crisis of values. Amid the irony of the satire, the film is an emotional story of love.

South American Way editorial
The sexy and clever story of a weathy widower who promises his celebate son he will never sleep with women again, until he becomes obsessed with a prostitute he visits one inebriated night. He tries vainly to hide his relationship with her and to gain the approval of his alienated son. The story takes a couple twists before the surprise ending. The ending offended the military government that was in power in 1973, and they banned the film. It went on to win a Silver Bear at the Festival of Berlin, after which it was allowed to be shown again in Brazil. The sound is a little out of synch at the beginning of the film, giving it a dubbed look, but improves early in the film. Don't let that distract you from this enjoyable classic movie. — Rick & Laura
