I have heard of folks talk so much on this movie but it is not one of most attainable flicks out there; But when I was at the bigger libraries in town, I happened to come across it and was so glad I did; I got to watch it for myself this morning and with the bossa nova score, the carnival atmosphere, the samba dancing and the story of two doomed lovers who try to love one another in spite of one’s pending engagement to another, and death on the heels of the other. Great score by the late Antonio Carlos Jobim and Louis Bonfa. Sadly, both stars of this film Marpissa Dawn and Bruno Mello died a mere six weeks of each other last year.
