Os Bandeirantes (English: The Pioneers) is a black-and-white[3] 1960 French-Brazilian adventure film directed by Marcel Camus. The film is also known in English as Gold of the Amazon.[4]
In Brazil, a French diamond miner is shot, robbed, and left for dead by a supposed friend.[5] He sets out on a mission of revenge, but along the way falls in love with a Brazilian woman.[5]
The film was rather well received but not as well as Camus's precedent Brazilian film, Black Orpheus.[7][8] Camus's other Brazilian film would be Bahia, in 1976.[9]
