O Homem que Comprou o Mundo (1968)

Englisht title: The Man Who Bought the World

A working-class man receives a trillionaire check from a dying man, and all of a sudden disturbs the balance of power in the world.

A variation on The Man Who Could Work Miracles, without supernatural elements. Unlike its predecessor, it is very shallow on its psychological and political considerations, favoring absurdist comedy instead. Released during the military regime in Brazil, it displays some mild criticism  of that period's authoritarianism.
