Abstract

This article aims to discuss the continuity of a cinematographic vein that is closely related to aspects of the “teatro de revista” (musical revue) language, a successful type of entertainment in Brazil in the late nineteenth century and in the first half of the twentieth century. Based on the analysis of the movie Berlim na batucada (Luiz de Barros, 1944), we intend to demonstrate the dialogue between cinema and “teatro de revista” in the musical comedies of the 1940s. Observing also, from a brief historical overview, how this relation was already present in the Brazilian film production since the first decade of the last century, with the “cantantes” of the “Bela época”, highlighting the movie Paz e amor (Alberto Moreira, 1910).
