Ankito on dual role as the mad Gunslinger and the trembling-coward Inocêncio, really funny Brazilian concept comedy!!
elo-equipamentos17 June 2023
To whom it may concern this conceptual picture that was usually done on fifties until late sixties often around a moronic guy-hero like Ankito a opposed as Oscarito that genuinely are equal standard on those formulaic comedies anti-heroes and coward characters addressed by large audience whose were amused in such odd offer, also attached gorgeous girls around of the main plot and some less so popular singers appearances always off-topic mostly of time, in a nutshell it was essentially the Brazilian cinema at this period of time indeed.

This turn Ankito plays a dual role in this weird brazilianized western story, travelling by train into a quiet place to stay a while to a strangely town called Desespero (Dispair) due to nervous breakdown together with a sprightly friend Bartolomeu (Grande Otelo) when the old train is attacked by a local gang, nonetheless Inocêncio (Ankito) has a strinking resemblance with an old acquaintance of the town named as Gunslinger, so seeing the supposed avenger in the trembling and coward Inocêncio the robbers decide drop out the upcoming assault.

Turns out that the train also take a decaying theater group composed by dancing girls and his manager looking for new spots to gather potential costumer to raise money that dried up in major cities, reaching there Inocêncio is welcome by the whole citizens due the small town is already terrified by the outlaws that is lead by an unknown town man, suddenly appears the real Gunslinger to put fire in the astonished dwellers with so clutter plight.

Among the actor cited above has the famous actress from theatre and upcoming TV star Renata Fronzi in great shape and the still skinny almost unknowable Consuelo Leandro in acts that turns back into the famous American series The Beverly Hillbillies similarity, really funny Brazilian comedy.

Thanks for reading.
