Just an intro if the readers may permit, ours friend The Tramps (Trapalhões) always had focused at its own fooling around performance as true trademark, in "Saltimbancos" they share the circus stage for a semi musical entertainment instead the usual mocking acting, it somehow boosted the picture in another level, Lucinha Lins stolen the show with graciousness and even sexy performance, singing a highlight sequence of musical act Hollywood, my personal favorite musical act.

Of course the stars vehicle for Renato Aragão and their moronic and funny comrades in a low profile humor oriented, the plot is far-fetched, the greedy Baron owner of the Circus, a ludicrous Magician and so for, attached the own circus's members make they fabulous acting on trapeze, clowns and several animals numbers as well aiming for fill in what a Circus may offer, however a lame screenplay provides countless uncanny mismatches, as the old house where the Baron keep his money in a box, the Tramps making circus acts at Rio de Janeiro's downtown often chasing by local police, also they hidden in a forest living an impoverished lifestyle.

Another weak point concerns in Renato Aragão tries reiterates once more his character Didi falling in love by the heroin unrequired, the soundtrack aside some cheesy songs is quite acceptable, the good guy Mario Cardoso was miscasting for the role, due he wasn't able to be an acrobat performer properly, he bad climbs on the rope, totally wasted on the picture, the final outcome is predicable as well, overall by Tramps's standard its quite good motion-picture, one the best, in 2017 got a remake.

Thanks for reading
