A 'Folha da Noite' de 5 Feb 1957 diz: quase total ausência de informação sobre o filme, o que acontece comumente com filmes nacionais. Ankito, provavelmente, repete o que vem fazendo exaustivamente, desta vez sob a ação do 'elixir da verdade'.
6 February 1957 - OESP columnist surprisingly writes about 'O Boca de Ouro' in a civilized manner. As we all know, most Brazilian media journalists treated the Brazilian musical comedy in a non-professional way. They were colonized intelectually and learned to despise the local product when they knew it was made for the Brazilian public. They did not respect the population of their own country and idealized they lived somewhere in the USA or Europe.
This particular review is a little less biased. The journalist at least tried to analyze what he saw on the silver screen. He even praises screen-writer J.B.Tanko - Josip Bogoslaw Tanko, a Croatian cinematographer who worked for the Nazis during WWII, then migrated to Brazil in 1946, after having lost his whole family in the war. He also commends Catalano (Humberto Catalano * 5 May 1904) who plays a crazy scientist. He is also lenient with Ankito, saying he's got potential to be developed. But the columnist hates both marvelous Heloisa Helena and talented Wilson Grey. He gives no reason for his displeasure.
