This
semidocumentary was inspired by a story of Joracy Camargo and released on the eve of
Rio Carnival. Using the
Movietone sound system, it was the first Brazilian film to record optical sound directly from Rio streets. The documentary sequences filmed in the streets were interspersed with scenes filmed in the studio, showing comedian Palitos, in the role of
King Momo. A sequence filmed in the studio of
Radio Mayrink Veiga showed singer
Carmen Miranda in her second film appearance, singing "E Bateu-se a Chapa", "Moleque Indigesto" and "Good-Bye". A
Voz do Carnaval was sponsored by the newspaper
A Noite, and displayed simultaneously at Cine Odeon in
Rio de Janeiro and
Belo Horizonte on March 6, 1933. And in theaters Companhia Cine Brasil in
Juiz de Fora through the Companhia Central Diversões. In
Petrópolis in the Teatro Pedro II. A note published in the edition of the magazine
Cinearte on June 15, 1933 said that the film was being displayed also in
Porto Alegre. == Cast ==
