Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Part of Brazil's 1970s 'pornochanchada' wave — raunchy comedies that pushed censorship limits while the military dictatorship looked away from popular entertainment.

Trivia

Reginaldo Faria starred in, directed, and likely cast himself as the hottest husband. The vanity is almost admirable.
