This Brazilian picture became the most successful Brazilian film at the box-office in Brazil with its record not broken until around thirty-five years later with the Brazilian movie Elite Squad 2: The Enemy Within (2010).
The film was the most watched cinema movie in Brazilian theaters, holding the record for around twenty years, until Titanic (1997)'s theatrical release.
Debut theatrical feature film of American actress Mercedes Ruehl who portrayed an American girl in a casino.
Director Bruno Barreto was born in 1955 and this film debuted in 1976 when he was only 20 or 21. Barreto started working on this film at age 19. Considering it was the largest grossing film in Brazil between its 1976 release and 1997, the then 19-year-old did a great job.
The movie was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Film but lost out to Ingmar Bergman's Autumn Sonata (1978) [Autumn Sonata].
