The Naked Angel

The Naked Angel tells the story of a sculptor who offers financial help to a bankrupt man, who in return allows his daughter to pose for the sculptor’s next work. The film stirred scandal in Argentina due to the portrayal of 17-year-old Olga Zubarry's naked back. This provocative theme is drawn from Arthur Schnitzler's novel "Fräulein Else," adding a layer of literary significance to the film.

With a cast that includes Olga Zubarry, Guillermo Battaglia, and Carlos Cores, the film reflects the dramatic storytelling and societal issues of its time. The exploration of art and moral boundaries in post-war Argentina provides a unique perspective that may appeal to collectors interested in international cinema and historical narratives. The film's blend of art and controversy makes it a notable piece within the genre of drama from this era.
