The First Miss

1961 · 1 hr 30 mins

Meant principally for a sympathetic audience, whether Catholic or not, this routine story about a priest's receiving the call to the cloth may be a bit slow and theatrical for some viewers. Directed by Lima Barreto, the tale is told in a series of flashbacks as the priest remembers how he was transformed as a child into a person willing to give his life in service of the church and his God. Barreto also scripted the story, which in the end, may be too filled with religious platitudes and preachy overtones to effectively convey its message.

Director: Lima Barreto

Cast: Roberto Alrean, Dionísio Azevedo, Artur Barman, Felipe Barreto, Martin Binder
