Aboard was Brazil's Joao Cafe Filho, President of a onetime Portuguese colony that became a nation 100 times as big and seven times as populous as the motherland.

When she shimmers into focus in a screen-size closeup with a tremulous smile on her lips, sympathetic vibrations start humming around the movie house. They keep on humming as the girl with the almond-shaped eyes and trim little figure speaks the precise and attractively British English that she learned at an Irish convent in Rangoon.
