Meu Destino É Pecar (1952)

Woman moves to a farm after marrying a man she doesn't love. She must deal with the advances of his lecherous brother, the hostility of his sister, and the coldness of his mother. Above all this hangs the shadow of his former wife, whose death is wrapped in a cloud of mystery.

Atrocious rip-off of Carolina Nabuco's A Sucessora. There are however some minor niceties such as its locations, a lovely song number, and a well-choreographed dance with African motifs. An earlier rip-off of  A Sucessora was Rebecca.
