This chanchada (Brazilian old light-hearted comedy genre) mixes slapstick comedy and musical genre (not only in the sketches with famous music stars, very loosely connected to the story, as was recurrent in chanchadas, but also in some dialogs). The movie is mildly amusing and moderately funny. While there are many very important celebrities from Brazilian music those years, such as Emilinha Borba and Elizeth Cardoso, I did not like their music scenes, which are better in other chanchadas I have watched before. It is interesting that there are many foreign characters in the story, but all their actors speak in Portuguese with fake accent or very few words in other languages, such as German. The most celebrated actor in the film was Ankito, but, in my opinion, the performance that deserves to be highlighted is the one by Antônio Spina.
