No Paraíso das Solteironas

Mazaroppi was the actor who achieves a great popularity in the 50 and 60's in Brazil always living the same character: a naive and poor hillbilly.This one is one of his weakest entries, with a silly and unfunny plot concerning some troubles with a band of gipsies, a bunch of wild and weird old ladies and some bandits. Although Mazaroppi is considered in Brazil a "cult" reference, I gave to this one just 03 (three).

Our dearest Mazzaropi caught in mass grave in this weird picture, in fact for financial reasons he shifted to countryside scenario nearby Taubaté as studio indoor neither, this turn he cast a dozen of stereotyped characters to play gypsies, dwarves, yokels and also many troublemakers to compose this weak feature, as expected he hired his longtime companion Geny Prado to play her usually role weepy wife and the fine actor Átila Iório to performance the rough Sheriff.

Straight away easily we can realize the lame plot about our hero playing the successful Jeca Tatú's character again, he is going upset when his callous boss had sold his go-to cow to butcher shop, he resigns and hurry up to buy the cow rather than she goes under the knife, meanwhile in town he meets many single old women, therefore he has been besieged by them, including arrested for an old widow due he fled for an upcoming marriage, in the meantime a gypsy's troupe is passing thru the little village and decided to stay there for a while, then the clutter is about the time.

Sadly Mazzaropi went bad in this odd premise, aside the picture was well-received at box-office like always the movie itself displeased plentiful due a contrived storyline, awful song sang by own Mazzaropi along the sufferable and overlong offering.

Thanks for reading.
