My Favorite Movie ever since I was a child. Thank You So VERY MUCH for sharing the footage. 💋 OMG, The Academy Award Footage. I've been asking to see this for decades. Please, where are the child actors today. They should only be in their Mid-60's.
I don't know. It's possible the answer to your question is nowhere on the internet at all, or can be found only on some obscure French- or Portuguese-language website.

@@LoveSamba I Googled IMDB years ago Jorge dos Santos aka Benedito is an actor. Aurino Cassiano aka Zecca I couldn't find anything on him Mary Alice is the little girl at the end of movie. I couldn't find anything on her.
Orfeu Negro is the best film about love ever made. What surprised me in this otherwise fascinating documentary was that not even one reference was made to the principal actress, Marpessa Dawn. Can anyone explain that?
@@LoveSamba I agree with you about the main point of the documentary but since there was a lot of talk about how a footballer, like Breno Mello could get this role and make something of it, it would have been interesting to know how an African-American woman who, no doubt, had to be dubbed because she didn't speak Portuguese, was not steeped in Brazilian culture, could cope during the shoot.
@@peterpallai5200 She learned to speak her lines phonetically, in Portuguese. As for why she's not represented, I don't know. Maybe she just wasn't available for an interview. Here's an old interview with her that might answer some of your questions... ruclips.net/video/ozAm_s1mf3E/видео.html
What does Orfeu mean? If you're looking for a gothic name with a touch of darkness, Orfeo's got your back! This masculine pick is short for Greek Orpheus and means "darkness of night" or "darkness of the netherworld." In Greek mythology, Orpheus was a poet and musician who traveled to the underworld to rescue his wife, Eurydice.
"The film stars black actors for the first time in Brazil" Not really. Grande Otelo starred in Moleque Tião in 1943, and I suspect there are earlier examples.

I suppose maybe it's because Marpessa was American, but the main point of the documentary was to explore the Brazilian culture behind the film.

@@LoveSamba Thank you so much for providing that link.
@peterpallai5200 Marpessa spoke English, French, and Portuguese (at least for the film). I'm not sure if she spoke any other languages.
