Bible Lesson with Candy and Jorge RIVERO
20 October 2023
Curious Bible film from Mexico with Jorge Rivero

This film (the literal translation should be something like "The Sin of Adam and Eve") is really amazing and very special. The Mexican director Miguel Zacarias (1905-2006), who is considered one of the most important personalities from the golden era of Mexican film, tells the story of Adam and Eve relatively faithfully to the Bible. He doesn't skimp on beguiling nudity and bright colors.

As a sort of flashback, we see how Adam and Eve, who have already been expelled from paradise, remember it. Paradise appears as a brightly colored dream place with bright colors and cute animals. The Mexican bodybuilder Jorge Rivero (born 1938) and the American model Candy jump through the charming scenery, completely naked and breathtakingly attractive. Of course, all you can see of the two exceptional beauties is their well-formed bottoms and nothing else that you shouldn't see. But that's enough, Adam's muscular upper body and Eva's voluptuous breasts, which are only barely covered by flowing hair, offer enormous visual value. It was probably only possible to do something like that in 1969.

Little is known about the charming Candy, who later became known as Candy Wilson. In any case, she is a feast for the eyes. Just like the powerful Jorge Rivero, who can look back on a film career spanning decades and in well-known films such as "Rio Lobo" (1970) with John Wayne and Mike Henry and as "Fist Fighter" (1989), where he uses his ultra-hard fists German martial arts star Matthias Hues was badly beaten.

Two beautiful people jumping around in a candy-colored plastic world while holding cute rabbit hearts - what more could you want? And as a bonus, you get to hear the biblical story of Adam and Eve told with almost no dialogue. Not even the nasty snake can bother you!!!
