The Headless Woman (Spanish: Una mujer sin cabeza) is a 1947 Argentine comedy horror film of the classical era of Argentine cinema, directed by Luis César Amadori and starring Niní Marshall. It is a parody of the horror genre. The title alludes to the trick called "The Aztec Flower" that was used in shows, which makes the head of a woman appear separated from the body and located on a vase.
