Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
Boca de Ouro is a Brazilian gangster who has had all his teeth pulled out and replaced with golden ones as an announcement of his power and ruthlessness. In this story, based on a 1959 play by Nelson Rodrigues, chronicles the swath he cuts through Brazilian society: his power puts him on a par with the elite, and his background makes him very crude indeed.
