 Viva Maria!
comment
Viva Maria! is a 1965 French comedy film directed by Louis Malle, starring Brigitte Bardot and Jeanne Moreau.On the eve of The Mexican Revolution, Maria (Bardot) has just lost her Irish terrorist father to one of his own explosions. She wanders aimlessly until she stumbles upon a hybrid circus/vaudeville troupe, where she meets another woman named Maria (Moreau). They agree to team up and form a theatrical duo. Some time later, they meet a revolutionary named Flores (George Hamilton), who's fighting to take down the dictatorial government of the (fictional) country of San Miguel. Moreau!Maria falls in love with him, but he's shot not long after. She promises to carry on his revolution, with the help of a reluctant Bardot!Maria.

Visual Pun: The Spanish word "caballero" would mean "gentleman" in the context it's given, but it can also mean "horse rider".

Driven to Suicide: Moreau!Maria's original partner shoots herself after being jilted by her lover, an act witnessed by Bardot!Maria at a distance (she sees the distraught woman run into her trailer, then hears the fatal shot a few seconds later). This ends up with Bardot!Maria, who has had no previous theatrical experience, being drafted as Moreau!Maria's new partner.

Stocking Filler: In the striptease scene referred to in the Of Corsets Sexy entry, Bardot!Maria and Moreau!Maria are wearing black silk stockings. After they zoom to stardom and make striptease key to their act, they wear a rainbow variety of stockings color-coded to the rest of their lingerie during their performances.

Mood Whiplash: Despite being considered a comedy, the movie shifts extremely in its moods. It opens with two people dying and Bardot!Maria being basically homeless, then it jumps to hijincks as the Marias do their first act together, then Moreau!Maria meets Flores, falls in love with him, he dies, and it's a tragedy, then slapstick with the rebellion, and so on.

Of Corsets Sexy: During their first performance after they team up, the two Marias aren't having much luck pleasing the audience. Then they have a series of accidents which results in their stripping/being stripped down to their tight-laced corsets and black stockings, and they become an instant hit throughout Central America, with the striptease becoming the focus of their act.
