The Man With Crooked Eyes

O Homem dos Olhos Tortos/The Man with Crooked Eyes (1918) is one of the three debut films by Leitão de Barros (the others are Mal de Espanha and Malmequer). According to José de Matos Cruz (1999), this film was destined to be part of a screen serial, but was interrupted by the financial problems of Lusitania Film. Keeping with the tradition of the French serial film, O Homem dos Olhos Tortos/ The Man with Crooked Eyes has idiosyncratic characteristics, such as mistery, suspense and the thematics of blackmail and criminal investigation. The film remains unfinished to this day.
