O Crime de Cravinhos is a 1920 Brazilian mystery film directed by Arturo Carrari. The title translates to The Crime of Cravinhos, referring to a suburb of Sâo Paolo, Brazil. It is known as "the first great box office success of São Paulo cinema," and it gathered a group of followers around the director. Some sources say Italian-born Gilberto Rossi was the director, and not just the cinematographer.
The film is based on a real crime in SÃÂo Paulo. Dona Sinhá Junqueira, the owner of a coffee farm in Ribeirão Preto, is said to have ordered the murder of her son-in-law.
