This telenovela helped cement Tony Ramos as Brazil's ultimate leading man and established Rio's working-class neighborhoods as dramatic backdrops alongside glamorous Copacabana.
Manoel Carlos reportedly wrote the twin premise after seeing Ramos's range in previous roles, essentially custom-building a showcase for his ability to play dual personalities.
