Rádio & Televisão offers a glimpse into entertainment during Portugal’s dark dictatorship years.
Our recent post of Movie Mirror reminded us that we have other magazine collections in the hard drive, so today we present Rádio & Televisão, which was a Portuguese celeb publication. You may have noticed that Florbela Queiroz earns three covers in three years. She was one of Portugal’s biggest stars during the late-1960s, which was toward the end of António de Oliveira Salazar’s U.S.-backed, corporatist military dictatorship. Other covers go to Ana Leiria, British actress Cilla Black, and figures we don't recognize. Even though the design of Rádio & Televisão changed pretty much immediately after the country was freed from its long bondage, we prefer the retro look of these dictatorship-era covers. A few of the images came from the Portuguese music blog Ié-Ié, so thanks for those.
