Record number: 298 Title: Viva Maria! (1965) aka Viva Marķa! Medium: Movie Actress: Brigitte Bardot, Jeanne Moreau Description: The Two Marias (Bardot and Moreau) are revolutionaries in Mexico. As the revolutionaries rapidly gain ground - to the catchcry, "Viva Maria!" - the rulers are in a panic. Eventually the church steps in and, using subterfuge (not unusual!), the clerics manage to waylay the two Marias and they end up in a torture chamber. When we first see them as prisoners they are both wearing smart black blindfolds and cloth gags. Soon the blindfolds are removed and the pair strapped and/or chained down (barefoot) on torture benches, with suitable head clamps and the works. They remain gagged. Since this is a comedy, none of the rusty old equipment will work. Meanwhile the powers that be decide the women are to be executed so, while a battle rages in the streets, they are marched up to the courtyard and tied, blindfolded, standing side by side to be shot by a firing squad. Curiously they seem to now be wearing shoes and be dressed in their full finery! Oh well! They are saved at the last minute by the revolutionaries. |
