'Moral em concordata' was adapted to the screen from a play by Abilio Pereira de Almeida. Maria Della Costa & Odete Lara play sisters in distress... Looking at the glossies I could not help but see the similarity in looks with the Hollywood productions of Tennessee William's plays 'A street car named desire' (1951) and 'Cat on a hot tin roof' (1958)... Look at the photos and see if you agree with me...
sister act... Odete Lara & Maria Della Costa.
Hollywood, eat your heart out...
Maria Della Costa on a big brass bed... any similarity to the Elizabeth Taylor scene in 'A cat on a hot tin roof' is not mere coincidence...
Italian neo-realism? No, Brazilian's...
Odete Lara working her troubles away at a Leonam sewing machine.
DKW & Caracu beer ad in the back...
it looks like Bela Vista to me...
but now it looks like a studio scenery... but I'm not quite sure...
Lambretta... Armando Bogus, Jardel Filho & Benjamin Cattan.
