The plot of the film is taken from two traditional Portuguese tales: A Donzela que Vai a Guerra ("The Maiden Who Went to War" 15th Century?), of Judo-Iberian origin, and novella, The dead one's hand, orally transmitted, which forms part of Bluebird cycle. Don Rodrigo has to daughters, one legitimate, the other bastard, Silvia and Susana. Growing old, and without male heir, Dom Rodrigo decides to marry off Silvia to his neighbour, a rich nobleman, Dom Paio, with the aim of securing and expanding his domain. After a brief visit from the fiancé, a great glutton and skirt-chaser, Dom Rodrigo leaves for the court to invite the king to the nuptials. Upon his departure, he instructs not to open the doors of the mansion to any stranger. One day a pilgrim arrives, requesting hospitality, and Silvia disobeying her father's orders admits the stranger...

It's nice to see, then teen, Maria de Medeiros along with other fine actors, some of them no longer among us :(
I have to ask you these 2 short questions:
- Do you have some more Portuguese films?
- Is it possible to unselect/remove the subtitles?
Thanks for your time.
I have the entire JCM collection, which I bought at bargain price when I visited Portugal. I will be uploading some of these.
It's not possible to remove the subtitles. These are "forced subtitles". As a Mac user, the software I have will allow for optional subtitles only for MKV files.
Glad you liked this.
Thanks for taking the time to answer.
As far as I know the JCM Collection is dated 2003 (the year he died) and is composed by 11 films. I believe it's unavailable now and last know price is somewhat high, so if you got it at a bargain you were lucky.
JCM was a quite controversial director, thus loved by ones, hated by others.
I don't want to impose myself or make a place of solicitation out of this, but I can't refrain from asking if you could post some, from time to time. I would be truly grateful.
About the subtitles, there is no big deal about them. I don't know if you speak Portuguese, but anyway, allow me this short note; IMHO the script is very idiomatic, hence hard to understand (even for native speakers, sometimes I don't understand the exact words being said or what they exactly mean), aggravated by the fact that the actors sound like they are reciting literature, so the subtitles (intended to translate the meaning and not the words literally) come more as a distracting factor than a help itself. Here, Ptg subs might come handy.
I hope you did enjoy your visit and savored our food :)
Thanks in advance.
