Os Cosmonautas (1962)

An incompetent vacuum cleaner salesman gets tangled with Brazil's (fictitious) space project. There is also a thief who wants to rob the space center's money vault, and an extraterrestrial female who appears and disappears at will and wants to learn how to kiss.

Sci fi spoof. The writer/director is the proficuous Victor Lima, a guarantee of mediocrity, yet also of minimal watchability. Golias is the comic here. He would always play the same type, a clumsy rustic, and abused of grimaces. No musical numbers in this one. Most of the space film clichés are revisited, including a very naïve political message of peace and good will.
