Set in Central America in 1907, two Marias, one (Brigitte Bardot) the daughter of an Irish revolutionary and the second (Jeanne Moreau) a French singer, find themselves thrown together in a touring vaudeville act. In between singing and accidentally discovering striptease, the Marias find themselves caught up in a revolution. When the revolutionary leader and lover of Maria (Brigitte Bardot) is killed, the two girls vow to carry on with the struggle. (StudioCanal UK)

Even though at first glance it may seem that "Viva Maria!" will be a typical farce, do not be fooled. This film is definitely more thoughtful than it seems. The poster may evoke polished entertainment, on the other hand, the women with a machine gun definitely look promising. Moreover, "Viva Maria!" presents a story that is not just a silly tale with individual jokes spun around it. It is a very good parody that is not afraid to take a jab at the highly popular genre of westerns. More: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2013/02/viva-maria-1965-60.html
