What happens

O Preço de um Homem is a Brazilian telenovela produced and broadcast by Rede Tupi, between 15 November 1971 and 24 June 1972 in 192 episodes. It was broadcast on 8 pm. It was created by Ody Fraga based on the novel Senhora by José de Alencar, and it was directed by Henrique Martins. This is the third Brazilian adaptation of the novel, as TV Paulista broadcast an adaptation in 1953, and Rede Tupi broadcast another in 1962. Of the 192 originally shown episodes, only 2 were preserved, being under the guard of Cinemateca Brasileira. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
