An excellent movie made 3 years after Ruy Guerra's Erendira. The young actress in the title role of that film appears as Ludmilla Struedel in this. The low-city gang life of Rio is perhaps mythic, but I don't think the aim was for realism.
The correspondence with Brecht/Weill's Threepenny Opera is worth noting:
Max Overseas.......Macheath (Mack the knife)
Otto Struedel......Mr. Peachum
Ludmilla Struedel..Polly Peachum
Margot.............Jenny Diver
Tigrao.............Tiger Brown
Victoria Struedel..Mrs. Celia Peachum
