O Cangaceiro [The bandit] (Lima Barreto, 1953)

The title refers to a family of bandits, the terror of the Brazilian countryside. During one of their raids, the Cangaceiros kidnap comely schoolteacher Olivia. Falling in love with the girl, Teodoro, one of the bandits, helps her escape. The rest of the film is a prolonged chase, with Olivia and Teodoro desperately attempting to evade the clutches of wrathful bandit chieftain Ferreisa. Though dramatically uneven, O Cangaceiro is consistently well-photographed by H. E. Fowley and directed by Lima Barreto; the traditional musical score is another plus.
