Good action, good actors, good plot and a good political point of
vue makes this historical film made in a province in the extreme
south of Brazil (near the border with Argentina and Uruguay)
something to admire. Director Tabajara Ruas, also the author of
the original novel, shows the saga of an insurgent general of the
brazilian empire in the middle of the 19th century and how he
fights unsuccessfully the central government of Rio de Janeiro for
his republican and anti-slavery ideals almost half a century before
they became a political reality. It is very different from the rest of
brazilian film production.If you have a chance, don't miss it.

I saw this film in Brazil when I was 10 and I never could forget it. It is amazing even today. Well produced and directed, it is may be the best of all the Sword and Sandal genre. Steve Reeves was not the awful creature the critics said. And Gianna Maria Canale, the queen of the amazons, deserves the title she once had as the most beautiful woman in the world.
A typical brazilian popular comedy of the 50's, also called " chanchada " by the critics. This one is directed by Carlos Manga, one of the best by those times. It is slightly inspired in Jean Negulesco's " How to marry a millionaire " with Monroe, Bacall and Grable. The brazilian actresses ( Fronzi, Mamede and Chiozzo ) are not so pretty, but very good in this malicious genre.The film was very successful and it's still very funny.
