i think Rita Hayworth does extremely well in this part of a vivacious, bawdy and flirty night singer given she was actually an extremely shy person at heart and was nothing like her character. this might sound strange but the story between Sadie and Mr Davidson rather reminded me of Esmarelda and Frollo. He was an obsessive moral preacher who despised and was attracted to her, she was a free spirited beautiful women who stands up to him at first, they have a big collision followed by her leaving the hotel, then having to return because he bad mouthed her all over the village, it sort of came as a shock at the end and sort of didn't when he rapes her whilst everyone is at the festival. The hotel is deserted. He is alone with her in her hotel room. She is defenceless. You sort of think you are seeing coming but you don't, the first sign he shows is when he won't moved completely from the doorway so she has to squeeze past him, after that he starts to walk nearer, closer to her then perhaps he should. Over all, its a good film, Rita shines and ferer gives you the creeps, the song 'the heat is on' will make you sizzle, its definitely worth a watch

I read a profile of Brando and it said that Last tango was one of his best performances so I bought it not knowing what to expect. I was extremely surprised, not necessarily in a bad way but I was shocked by the film.I have never seen anything like it. Brando, although not in his prime is still extremely sexy and puzzling, maria Schneider played her role well but I'm sure that the male audience will be concentrating on something other than her performance. Its one of those films were you want them to be together but some how you know, happiness will never enter. All in all, I'd say its a very erotic, original, emotional, puzzling film definitely worth watching. Go Brando!
