Two husbands are better than one. Still funny after all these years. This film, like Ofreu Negro, is permeated with the Afro-Brazilian spiritualism which is still present in much of Brazil. It helps to read the wikipedia articles first (because I had to stop the movie to learn who Ezu was): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macumba and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbanda.
