Review of Viva Maria!

Viva Maria! (1965)
4/10
Viva the End...
23 May 2023
After growing up to terrorise the Brits, you lose your father and you end up dressed in glitz, as you become a stage performer, a quite radical reformer, joining forces with Maria to get your kicks. As you're also called Maria that makes a pair, a risqué dance for two is what you like to share, until Maria meets a guy, who lifts her high into the sky, there's revolution after he succumbs and dies. And so it's off to war to fight a dead man's cause, to fight the corrupt, crooked, shady, venal laws, a brief tangle with the church, allows the film to pitch and lurch, to an ending that won't wake you from your snores.

It isn't funny and it isn't fun.
