Black Capes
''Black Capes'' (Portuguese:''Capas Negras'') is a 1947 Portuguese musical film directed by Armando de Miranda and starring Amália Rodrigues, Alberto Ribeiro and Artur Agostinho. The film takes its name from the black capes worn by the students at the University of Coimbra. The film was an enormous success at the box office in both Portugal and Brazil, despite criticism in Coimbra that depictions of the city and its musical tradition were not accurately represented. The film marked the debut of Amália Rodrigues, previously known as a radio star. The film's popularity led producers to rush out another film '' Fado: The Story of a Singer'', which was loosely based on her own life story.Creekmur p.63 Cast * Amália Rodrigues as Maria de Lisboa * Alberto Ribeiro as José Duarte * Artur Agostinho as Manecas * Vasco Morgado as Jorge * Barroso Lopes as Coca-Bichinhos * Humberto Madeira as Já-Cá-Canta * António Sacramento as Judge * Graziela Mendes * Joaquim Mi ...
