+{{Infobox Movie
-'''Viva Maria!''' is a '''French western comedy''' was directed by Louis Malle in 1965 about two women both named Maria, who meet and become revolutionaries in the early 20th century. Maria Fitzgerald O'Malley (credited as Maria I) ([[Brigitte Bardot]]) is the daughter of an Irish political dissident who has traveled to Latin America with her father to take part in an anarchist political uprising. When her father is killed, Maria, left to her own devices, happens upon a traveling circus, where she strikes up a friendship with one of the performers, french singer also named Maria (credited as Maria II) played by ([[Jeanne Moreau]]). Maria O'Malley joins up with the carnival, and she works up a dance routine with Maria II; the act is a smash hit, especially after the Irish Marie accidentally loses part of her costume during a performance, thus 'inventing' the strip tease. Despite their success, the two Marias find themselves increasingly distressed with the poverty and brutality of the peasants' lives, and they soon decide to use their talents in support of revolutionary leader Flores ([[George Hamilton]]). But Florès was treacherously shot by an evil landowner, Ródriguez ([[Carlos López Moctezuma]]). On his deathbed, Maria promises the mortally wounded Florès, that she and the other Maria will continue his fight.
