A composer gets in trouble after selling his song to various recording companies. There is also a private investigator who is in a relationship with a nurse.
Musical comedy which is slightly above average for Brazilian films of that genre and period, with some funny comic sketches and passable songs. The plot is also kind of interesting, with its themes of exploitation of artists by company owners, and of memory and forgetfulness. It is generally pointed out that this film borrows from Rio, Zona Norte, released in 1957. I have my doubts, though. Quem Roubou Meu Samba is based on a nightclub "show" from 1953, and the author of that work apparently provided the plot for the film. So, it is not clear who borrowed from whom.
