The classic is this: the shocking murder of a pair of poor lovers for money. When her ex-girlfriend saw that he wanted to use this marriage to become a rich man, she decided to go through fire and water to help her ex-boyfriend, and was finally exposed by Paulo that they both died in love. They lost themselves for money.
What is worth mentioning is their killing methods. They cooperated very well. The ex-girlfriend used her boyfriend to be robbed by a friend and always followed their honeymoon to show her revenge and intimidation to her friend. On the boat, the ex-girlfriend made a splash, and the ex-boyfriend cooperated to force his wife away, as if he wanted to have a good talk with his ex-girlfriend. In fact, his leg was not injured. His ex-boyfriend took advantage of the time difference to commit a crime and killed his wife. After returning, he wounded his left leg with a gun, so that the two of them fell asleep on morphine because they were too frightened. One night, because it seemed that the leg was injured and there was no possibility of committing a crime, the focus was shifted...
If this story was put in 30 or 40 years ago, I think it can indeed be regarded as a milestone in detective novels. Looking at it now, it is indeed a bit late, but it is not an exaggeration to be called a classic by everyone.
At the end of the film, Paulo quotes Molière, the master of black humor - a woman's greatest wish is to be loved! It's the end of the whole show.
