Greatest American hit movie in the Soviet Union in 70s-80s.One of my all-time favorite flicks. I still cry.I saw this movie twice in the mid 70s and I still can't get over how fascinating, touching and profoundly deep it was.The ending and the overall atmosphere haunt me to this day, to some degree thanks to the soundtrack which is out-worldly.All excellent-idea (classic novel by Brazilian cultural icon Jorge Amado), music of Dorival Caymmi and actor's work of Kent Lane and Alejandro Rey.The acting is strong, the narrative is compelling enough and its semi-documentary style direction is consistent and provides clarity and pace.
