And this is mainly what irritates the most in national cinema. Since there were possibilities to present a technically acceptable show, why use such a disjointed story, a mere pretext to showcase some musical numbers with the inevitable radio artists of our time?"O Cruzeiro*, March 19, 1949, p. 86, accessed via Hemeroteca Digital. The film is also referred to as And the World Has Fun (a more literal translation of the original Portuguese title, ...E o mundo se diverte.)Creekmur Corey K. https://books.google.com/books?id=gZJvAAAAQBAJ&dq=e+l+mundo+se+diverte&pg=RA1-PA1956 International Film Musical 2013-01-11 Edinburgh University Press 978-0-7486-5430-7 en Plot A theater typist facing financial crisis is mistakenly diagnosed with only a short time left to live because a mix-up at the clinic exchanged his X-ray with that of another patient. His colleagues decide to fulfill all his wishes to give him a "happy end". The typist's dream is to produce a revista, which no one believes in, but paradoxically ends up saving the theater from bankruptcy. In the end, the mix-up is discovered, and the theater janitor marries the theater director's daughter.http://bcc.gov.br/filmes/443240 ...And the World Laughs Banco de Conteúdos Culturais da Cinemateca Brasileira July 22, 2024 pt-BR Cast The main cast of the film includes:...And the World Laughs (1949) http://tinq.co/movie/?m=tt0186983-e-o-mundo-se-diverte TINQ July 22, 2024 tr-TR March 2, 2019 https://web.archive.org/web/20190302210412/http://tinq.co/movie/?m=tt0186983-e-o-mundo-se-diverte deadFilmography - ...And the World Laughs http://bases.cinemateca.gov.br/cgi-bin/wxis.exe/iah/?IsisScript=iah/iah.xis&base=FILMOGRAFIA&lang=p&nextAction=lnk&exprSearch=ID=005520&format=detailed.pft#1 bases.cinemateca.gov.br July 22, 2024 pt-BR July 7, 2022 https://web.archive.org/web/20220707074144/http://bases.cinemateca.gov.br/cgi-bin/wxis.exe/iah/?IsisScript=iah/iah.xis&base=FILMOGRAFIA&lang=p&nextAction=lnk&exprSearch=ID=005520&format=detailed.pft#1 dead Oscarito as Pacheco, the theater janitor.
