Amei um Bicheiro (1952)

Marcos is an operator in the illegal business of "jogo do bicho" gambling in Rio de Janeiro. His wife needs an operation, so he decides to make a risky move against his boss.

Second viewing. Despite some naiveté here and there, the general lines that drive the movie are frankness and realism. The direction is competent and makes good use of location shooting. The actors are good.

Rating: 52 (down from 54)
