International English Title According to IMDb: Garrincha: Hero of the Jungle (sic).
Correct Translation of the Title: Garrincha, Joy of the People.
This is a documentary about a Brazilian soccer player, whose deftness at dribbling made him famous. One sees images from the World Cups of 1958 and 1962, in which one can testify to Garrincha's phenomenal abilities. Also, some bits of his personal life are shown. The film lasts 58 min (at least my copy did), but only the first 40 or so are about Garrincha. The rest of the movie is about soccer as a mass phenomenon in general. The film is not a complete picture of Garrincha, but is nice to watch due to some good soccer and also the display of the common soccer fans and their reactions.
