The story of a one-eyed broker who would like to recover his lost eye by whatever means. For such, he goes as far as to submit to the experiments of a crazy inventor. The new eye he is fitted with gives him special powers such as to be invisible. He becomes a millionaire with horse-racing, becomes involved with magnates in the beef trade, decides to enter into politics, and is elected President of the Republic. The film was produced by Cinematográfica Maristela one year after Cavalcanti left Vera Cruz, for which he had come to Brazil - to assist in setting up the film studios.

ALBERTO CAVALCANTI

Alberto de Almeida Cavalcanti was born in Rio de Janeiro on February 6, 1897. He started his career as script writer, art director and director in Paris in the twenties, in the early days of cinema. In 1926, he directed a vanguard documentary, Nothing But Time, describing life for some of the workers in Paris during a single day. Cavalcanti moved to England in 1933 to work as a sound engineer and later as producer at the GPO Film Unit, under director John Grierson. With the outbreak of World War II, he transferred to Ealing Studios where he worked for Michael Balcon. There he directed films that were important to his career, such as Champagne Charlie (1944) and They Made me a Fugitive (1947). In the late forties, on invitation of Assis Chateaubriand, he returned to Brazil to be director at Vera Cruz film producers, newly instituted in São Bernardo do Campo. He made some of his best known films in Brazil, with his own producing company (not Vera Cruz) - Simon the One-Eyed (1952) and Woman of Truth (1954). Under pressure for his leftist political position, he again left Brazil in the late fifties and settled in Paris where he produced films for cinema and TV. The last film he directed was La Visite de la Vieille Dame (1971; for TV). He died in Paris on August 23, 1982.
