Maria I und Maria II tingeln mit einer Schaustellertruppe durch Mittelamerika. Wenn sie auf der Bühne ihren Striptease vollführen, gerät das männliche Publikum völlig aus dem Häuschen. Geradezu atemberaubend wird ihr Erfolg jedoch erst, als die beiden Schönen sich in einer Bananenrepublik an die Spitze einer revolutionären Bewegung setzen. Sie wollen die Bauern zum Sieg führen.. (Verleiher-Text)

Casting and disrobing Moreau and Bardot in the same film was a brilliant marketing move. Luc Besson later did something similar with Bandidas. In any case, Viva Maria! is an almost too laid-back comedy that spends a needlessly long time wagering on the title characters’ sex appeal. The ladies expose their bodies without any inhibitions and find themselves caught up in the whirlwind of the revolution (probably led by Zapata at that time) only under the pressure of circumstances, not on their own initiative. A similar approach to female heroines leads me to suspect that, without even a hint of artistic ambition, Malle actually wanted the same thing that the absolute majority of viewers would want – to please the eye. 55%

Even though at first glance it may seem that "Viva Maria!" will be a typical farce, do not be fooled. This film is definitely more thoughtful than it seems. The poster may evoke polished entertainment, on the other hand, the women with a machine gun definitely look promising. Moreover, "Viva Maria!" presents a story that is not just a silly tale with individual jokes spun around it. It is a very good parody that is not afraid to take a jab at the highly popular genre of westerns. More: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2013/02/viva-maria-1965-60.html
