And yet both are the very best in the genre from roughly the same period too - a veritable golden age for Globo!
FERNANDA MONTENEGRO and PAULO AUTRAN carry this show on their respective legendary shoulders; she would win the Oscar almost two decades later and he rose to the occasion in splendid fashion as the infamous ''bigode preto'' here!
GLORIA MENEZES was a desirable leading lady in this turn-out, one who falls for a younger man - she is touching as the recently widowed dignified lady overwhelmed by her senses... MARIO GOMES is hilarious as Nando, the dim-witted object of her affections...
Noteworthy of mention are the illustrious ARY FONTOURA and REGINA DUARTE - the once and future RAINHA DA SUCATA herself; that soap's stars had minor roles in this one whereas this soap's stars had supporting roles in RAINHA... hence the possible confusion for some... including yours truly! Everybody wins in the end though, out of this "exchange"... For Fontoura and Duarte truly shine in minor but once again scene-stealing roles...
Great fun - watch it with some friends!
