''A Canção de Lisboa'' (lit. ''Lisbon Song'') is a Portuguese Film Comedy from 1933 , directed by José Cottinelli Telmo , and starring Vasco Santana and Beatriz Costa . Director Manoel De Oliveira , still active in 2005, also had a minor role. It was the second Portuguese sound feature film (the first was A Severa ; a 1931 documentary by Manoel De Oliveira , '' Douro, Faina Fluvial '' was originally filmed without soundtrack, which was added afterwards), and is still one of the best loved films in Portugal. Several of its lines and songs are still quoted today. Vasco is a medical student in Lisbon , supported by his rich aunts from Trás-os-Montes , whom he had falsely told he had already graduated. After failing yet another final exam, he is surprised by his aunts' announcement that they will visit him in Lisbon to see his practice. |
