...like Salazar, he is conservative, correct and Catholic. As such, he is acceptable to Portugal's influential generals and businessmen. But in some respects, Caetano presents a sharp contrast to Salazar. He is married and has four grown children; the former Premier is a withdrawn, painfully austere bachelor.

The hopeful Bachelor's Dance (La Bourrée du Célibataire), the chagrined Jackie ("If I could be for just one little hour cute, cute, cute in a stupid-assed way"), the infuriated Funeral Tango, all deal with material often ignored in music.
