Comédia à Portuguesa
''Comédia à portuguesa'' (; Portuguese Comedy) is a term conventionally used to refer to the genre of popular Portuguese film comedies made in the 1930s and 1940s. The light-hearted comedies are predominantly set in petit-bourgeois milieus in traditional Lisbon neighbourhoods and are often accompanied by musical performances, mainly light music, fados or folk songs. The popular revue (''teatro de revista''), the national equivalent of the North American vaudeville or the British music hall, had a marked influence over the ''comédia à portuguesa'', including the talents of the actors, writers, and musicians.
