La odalisca No. 13 ("Odalisque Number 13") is a 1958 Mexican comedy film starring Viruta and Capulina (Marco Antonio Campos and Gaspar Henaine), Germán Valdés, María Antonieta Pons, Lorena Velázquez and Donna Behar.[1]

The film was said to be "not only a very popular Mexican movie but also a complex parody that involved Mexico City's turn-of-the-century modernist fascination with odalisques".[2]
