The Baron (Portuguese: O Barão) is a 2011 Portuguese film directed by Edgar Pêra, based on the 1942 novella of the same name by Branquinho da Fonseca. Except for a brief scene, the film is completely black and white. "During the second world war, an American crew of B-Movies took refuge in Lisbon. In 1943, producer Valerie Lewton married with a Portuguese actor that translated to her Branquinho da Fonseca's story The Baron. The dictator heard about the movie and ordered it destroyed. The crew was repatriated. The Portuguese actors were deported to the Tarrafal concentration camp. They died tortured in the "skillet", a cubicle where humans were roasted. In 2005, two reels and the screenplay were found in the archives of Barreiro's kino-club. For the next five years the film was restored and reshot. In 2011, it was shown for the first time."
