Lusitânia Filmes

A Portuguese bourgeois dares to look at a Spanish lady's delicate ankles at the beach, but his wife will have nothing of it. Later, it's him that forbids his daughter from seeing a young man she had met at the same beach.

The Man with the Crooked Eyes is a unfinished 1918 Portuguese silent film made for Lusitânia Film and directed by José Leitão de Barros, starring Filipe Melo. This was restored and edited together in 2007 using all existing raw footage.

During a reception at a noble house, during the XVIII century, an ancient courtesan takes the petals of a marigold off, one-by-one, and remembers his encounter - and separation - of the woman he loved.
