70s/early 80s where a man must choose a wife from seven women

I saw this movie around 1982 so it must’ve been from the late 70s or early 80s. An English speaking western man is visiting Asia and he is placed into a situation where he must choose a wife from six or seven women. They make themselves up with makeup and fancy dress and such to try to be the one he chose. The women that he did not choose have to be put to death. Very intense/sad. Any ideas? Thanks!
