"Estouro na praça": Alinor Azevedo, Alex Viany e a Comédia Musical Carioca

Abstract

This article analyses one of the contribution of the film writer Alinor Azevedo to the Brazilian cinema in the 50's, taking as the main object for this analysis an unpublished script, co-written by Alinor and Alex Viany, called Estouro na Praça (1957). The study of this script intends to reveal, through the conscient usage of a definite genre like the musical comedy, how Alex Viany and Alinor Azevedo tried explicit - in the script's dramatic structure - an ideologic narrative about the activity of making movies, in Brazil.
