Nudista à Força

Well edited and filmed light-hearted Brazilian spy comedy. It is impressive that another film from the very same year (1966), 007 1/2 in Carnaval, has almost the same plot, and its main actor, comedian Costinha, plays an extremely similar character: a clumsy innofensive man who is mistaken by international-level criminals.

Costinha shows his versatility as an actor, having the main role divided between two characters, one comical and the other more serious, where it is possible to see him without the mannerisms that characterized his career as a comedian.

The locations and sets of this film show a little of what architecture, urbanism, costumes and nature were like in the 60s.

It is a black and white film, with later dubbing with excellent resolution and very well edited.

The soundtrack and pace of this film are reminiscent of the 007 films, with an unmistakable Brazilian touch.

A nice light comedy to watch and get to know a little about what Brazil was like in 1966, just two years after the Military Coup, when artistic expressions were being cut due to the censorship imposed by the dictatorship at that time.
