Due the bad storage this picture was almost lost forever, actually it wasn't any copyright in 90', fell in public domain, through many efforts of some people involved with picture, they got a full restoration including the sound, it comes alive in 2008, based in a successful play of the iconic and contentious Nelson Rodrigues it was taken to big screen in 1962 following by a smashing success at box office.
Boca de Ouro is a gangster that ruled in outskirts Madureira around the great Rio de Janeiro, working in "Jogo do Bicho" a sort of game of luck very popular on lower class based in numbers each one means a specific animal, it has a high profits in this kind of misdemeanor including the bribe of the cops to work out properly, Boca de Ouro has this name because he had perfect teeth, however he dictates for all means to an astonished dentist extracts all them to mold a gold denture, the plot is about a gambler that tries borrow some money from Boca de Ouro, who accepts whereas his beautiful wife comes get the money, ended up in his death, like Paul Newman's Outrage, but told in three varyng iterations.
The storytelling is based in an amoral way, a peppery style addressing how Nelson Rodrigues envisioned the fake prudishness of the society, further flowing countless human behavior which he called "how the life really is", indeed a near masterpiece from the director Nelson Pereira dos Santos that stayed with o foot behind when was offered to him let it to big screen dealing with Nelson has been a notorious right-wing and he as communist, such worry doesn't flumbed the real target!!
