Esse Milhão É Meu (1959)
One of the best chanchadas ever made!
The chanchada was a sort of popular comedy/musical movie in the 40´s to 60´s brazilian cinema. This one is one of my ten best ever made. The story is about of a man who wins 1 million as a premium for being the only brazilian public servidor (is that the term?) who really work in his job. Two crooks try to steal his money in an attempted fake-murder-extortion scheme (who was clearly inspired in Edward G. Robinson´s misadventures in The Woman in the Window), and it´s only the beginning of the action and jokes!
The Black Swan (1942)
Action with story and performance
If not for the action, for the actors and the actress, for the story or for the direction, see this movie because it´s only one of the best action movies ever made in the USA. Just that! Many of the recent full-action movies, made with more money and resources, are not even 1% of this one.
