Augusto Anibal quer casar is a 1923 Brazilian silent comedy film directed by Luiz de Barros and Vittorio Verga, based on a short story written by Carlos Verga. It is considered a lost film. It premiered in Brazil in September 1923. Brazilian researcher Antônio Leão da Silva Neto, wrote in his book Dicionário de filmes brasileiros: longa-metragem, that the film is a feature film. Among the figures present in the cast stand out Augusto Annibal, Yara Jordão, named at the time as the "queen of Copacabana" and the actor Darwin, known as an "imitator of women".The reviews from the movie critics were mostly positive. The newspaper A Rúa considered the production "very funny" and "a masterpiece", however, in its September 11, 1923 issue, it criticized the promotional poster which, according to it, contained "a group of women in smaller costumes, almost naked, one of which lifts its legs over the head of a squatting man (..) who exclaims:-What a smell of Ba-Ta-Clan!. The periodical O Jornal, made two reviews, the first one issued on September 9, 1923, claimed to be the best release in the comedy genre produced in the country so far and that Augusto Annibal's performance was on a par with Charlie Chaplin's. In the second, Mendes Fradique wrote even though it was "far from satisfying the demands of the technical spectators", the talent of the cast was worth the ticket price. The newspaper A União, wrote in its October 18, 1923 edition, that Guanabara-Film was not happy with the presentation, with the technical part presenting problems worthy of beginners, he also criticized the movie theme (called the film "pervert") and pointed out that it was not suitable for younger people, as it could cause psychological damage.According to O Imparcial, the screenings exceeded expectations at the brazilian Parisience Theater box office. It is the first Brazilian movie to talk about homosexuality and transsexuality.
