Colvin studies the evolution of Fado music as the soundtrack to the Portuguese talkie. He analyzes the most successful Portuguese films of the first two decades of the Estado Novo era to understand how directors used national song to promote the values of the young regime regarding the poor inhabitants of Lisbon's popular neighborhoods. He consides the aesthetic, technological, and social advances that accompany the progress of the Estado Novo.
