Carlos (Armoando Bo) falls in love with Laura (Isabel Sarli), despite
knowing that she has numerous affairs with contless men and with
her maid. When the 2 of them marry, they honestly believe she would
change, but after a short stint of abstinence she goes out again to pick
up menfor having sex with them - despite her love for Carlos. Carlos,
understanding husband that he is, takes her to a doctor, who attests a
serious case of nymphomania, a diagnosis a specialist in the United
States agrees on - & of course, there is no cure. Driven by guilt
she feels towards Carlos, Laura kills herself, & Carlos, seeing her
ghost at her grave, follows her into premature death.
A strange mix of rural kitsch, soap opera melodrama & erotica,
done with definite South American temeprament. It's not free of
unintentional humour though.
Isabel Sarli, by the way, was Miss Argentinia of 1955, &, when
this was filmed, was a couple with director & lead actor Armando Bo
on- & off-screen. Other films the 2 of them did together included Carne,
Furia Infernal, Extasis Tropical & Embrujada.
