Todo un hombre (What a Man) is a 1943 Argentine romantic drama film directed by Pierre Chenal on his Latin film debut, and starring Francisco Petrone and Amelia Bence. Critically acclaimed, the film was compared by critics in Argentina to Jean Vigo's L'Atalante. At the 1944 Argentine Film Critics Association Awards, Petrone won the Silver Condor Award for Best Actor for his performance in the film.
Francisco Petrone is a tough, hard-working independent river man, who finds it difficult to communicate and express his true feeling to his young wife (Amelia Bence). The two travel up a winding river, and tension between the two escalates.
THis is not the plot of Unamuno's Nada menos de todo un hombre.
