Little Mother (also known as Woman of the Year) is a 1973 drama, romance, cult film directed by Radley Metzger and starring Christiane Krüger, Siegfried Rauch and Ivan Desny. The story was loosely modelled on that of Eva Peron in Argentina. It was a co-production between the United States, West Germany and Yugoslavia.[1]

Plot

A woman in a South American country rises from being a struggling actress to the wife of the President, who she plans to overthrow and make herself dictator.[1]

Cast

Notes

According to one film reviewer, Radley Metzger's films, including those made during the Golden Age of Porn (1969–1984), are noted for their "lavish design, witty screenplays, and a penchant for the unusual camera angle".[2] Another reviewer noted that his films were "highly artistic — and often cerebral ... and often featured gorgeous cinematography".[3] Film and audio works by Metzger have been added to the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City.[4][5][6][7]
