Apuros do Genésio is a 1940 Brazilian comedy film starring comedian Genésio Arruda.[1] Genésio was already famous in cinema, for having played the character "Bentinho Samambaia" in the film Acabaram-se os Otários, considered the first Brazilian sound film.

The film was originally supposed to be a theatrical comedy, written by Genésio himself for Moinho do Jeca, a well-known music venue in the capital of São Paulo.
