Maria Zilda sizzles in this outback family drama

Maria Zilda (known as just that in Brazil), one of Brazilian film and TV in particular best-known and most durable stars, sizzles in this movie about the Intrusive Woman- that's her. She comes between two brothers who share everything, in the Brazilian outback or pampas. Filmed when she was at her sexiest, at her youthful peak, she gives a sensuous, provocative performance as a raw, almost wild woman in strange territory. If you like her here, check her out in O Homem Nu (the Naked Man).
