About De Vento em Popa
Industrialist's son returns from the USA, where he'd been supposedly studying Nuclear Physics, when in fact he'd devoted himself to pop music, without his father's knowledge.
Directed by Carlos Manga, De Vento em Popa leans on a strong ensemble — Oscarito, Cyll Farney, Zezé Macedo — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1957.
