Anibal Massaini and his inferioty complex!!
Funny pornochanchada in three segments, made for Cinedistri a sort old studio specialized in chanchada in early days for a while and later turn up into a hard one called pornochanchada in the seventies, a funny thing in all movies from Cinedistri headed by his owner Anibal Massaini Neto who is a hard supporter of Santos F.C. a kind an average team and how he has great inferiority complex against the major football's team called Corinthians, he put a little jokes inside the plot always in all his movies, try making a distasteful attempt against their supporter, back to the picture it was a naive production who was directed by an unknown person at this time who quickly became one the highly regarded soap opera's director nowadys!!

John Herbert and Eva Wilma's segment is clearly above the other two in this Brazilian sexploitation film
Brazilian cinema was overconcentrated in a sexploitation genre called pornochanchada. Present film is divided in three short stories held in São Paulo. The first segment, about an eviction order, has interesting cinematography (including fast paced scenes and wide-angle close-ups, approximating to magic realism). It could be a nice campy comedy but pokes fun on sexual oppression, what is deffinitely not funny.
The second segment, "Credit card", directed by John Herbert, is by far the best, with very good and funny dialogs of his character with Eva Wilma's. The beginning, when the leading character faces a succession of failures as a costumer in a red-light district, is tepid and irregular, but the film has the very best moment when John Herbert and Eva Wilma are together. The very end has a dark off-colour humour. The third and latest segment, on a young sexually repressed clergyman, is just an amout of bad and unfunny sexploitation, being the worst part of the whole film.
