Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sarli became Argentina's most famous—and infamous—sex symbol, but her performances carry a weird dignity that outlasts the sleaze. She knew the game and played it better than the men directing her.
The 1968 release made it a time capsule of pre-feminist rage: Delicia has no language for her oppression, only her body as battlefield. The film accidentally documents what it thinks it's exploiting.
