Neste conto Renato Carreira afasta-se (um pouco) do seu humor corrosivo para nos apresentar uma história que parece mais uma antevisão do que uma crítica. De facto, depois de tudo o que temos visto na televisão portuguesa, é de admirar que ainda não tenhamos chegado aqui.
A widow accepts a job as a live-in governess to the King of Siam's children.
The Red Cat, is the play on which Folies Bergere, That Night In Rio, and On The Riviera were based. Maurice Chevalier , Don Ameche and Danny Kaye interpreted the dual role of (i) an American entertainer who includes impressions in his act and (ii) a French industrialist who was an air ace a World War ago. When the industrialist makes a secret trip to Great Britain for some financing, his associates are left holding the bag with another French industrialist. They hire the show more protagonist-entertainer to impersonate the industrialist and the results, especially with the interaction between the women, are hilarious. show less
