    A Strange Triangle with Four People

    A 40's style melodrama for drive-ins told in flashback (with a Miklós Rózsa-esque score by John Neel) showcasing director Eder Lobato's bouffant blonde wife Nelida Lobato as the butterfly broken on the wheels of her lover's white Triumph.

    Lana Turner never wore a bikini as skimpy in 'The Postman Always Rings Twice', while Deborah Kerr's top remained firmly on in the beach scene in 'From Here to Eternity'; and I certainly didn't see the revelation in the final fifteen minutes coming!
