Full description for Pantaleon Y LAS Visitadoras

  • This delightful 1973 satire later made into a motion picture, opens as the prim and proper Captain Pantoja learns he is to be sent to Peru's Amazon frontier on a secret mission for the army: to supply women for the amorous recruits. Sidesplitting complications arise as word of Captain Pantoja's remarkable achievements start to spread. This story underscores the hypocrisy of "exemplary" institutions, the eternal debate between need and virtue, truth and lies, and the sometimes-negative consequences of carrying out one's duty too thoroughly.
