About Simão, o Caolho
A one-eyed businessman wants to become rich and retrieve his lost eye at any cost. He tries many schemes, and eventually regains his eye with a vengeance: the power of invisibility. He becomes multi millionaire in the meat market and after entering politics he is elected president of Brazil.
Directed by Alberto Cavalcanti, Simão, o Caolho leans on a strong ensemble — Mesquitinha, Raquel Martins, Yara Aguiar — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1952.
