8/10
A feel-good, well documented period dramatic comedy
16 August 2000
This movie is a faithful, and very colorful reproduction of the show business scene in Brazil in the late thirties and early forties. It is basically a romantic comedy about a good looking movie star with a horrible voice, competing with his average looking radio counterpart with a great voice and who dubs the other's lines. They compete for the affection of the radio star's female colleague. A few contemporary themes are thrown in also, but are of little importance. The highlight of the film for many may be the colorful art direction and sound track this movie boasts. Worth watching.
