A typical brazilian popular comedy of the 50's, also called " chanchada " by the critics. This one is directed by Carlos Manga, one of the best by those times. It is slightly inspired in Jean Negulesco's " How to marry a millionaire " with Monroe, Bacall and Grable. The brazilian actresses ( Fronzi, Mamede and Chiozzo ) are not so pretty, but very good in this malicious genre.The film was very successful and it's still very funny.
