O Maior Espetáculo do Mundo é dos piores vencedores de sempre
Mas os espetáculos de circo são lindos, deem uma chance.
A Ponte do Rio Kwai, o assobio inesquecível.
Um Americano em Paris, o ballet final é maravilhoso.
Ben-Hur com 11 Óscares, a corrida de quadrigas.
Eva (All About Eve), Bette Davis perfeita.
Há Lodo no Cais, Marlon Brando, «I coulda been a contender».
