O Cangaceiro (1953)
Cliché plot, bandit abducts schoolteacher, beautifully played

I saw this film at the Carnegie Cinema in NYC 50 years ago and still remember it. It was beautifully filmed. Aside from the plot, the background music, O Canganceiro which is played as an instrumental and choral is absolutely haunting. The female lead was exceptionally beautiful. As I recall, the film was a minor sensation at the time, but has since disappeared into the mists of history. Too bad. Is it available anywhere today?
(the 10 line minimum doesn't make sense. Why should I be forced to pad my comments when brevity is the soul of wit. This was a simple film,that doesn't require complex, "filomatic" critical comment!)
