Paulo Machado de Carvalho presents Manuel Durães & Edith de Moraes their 1957 Roquette Pinto trophy for their 21 years of commanding radio-drama at Radio São Paulo and elsewhere. 1958 was the last time TV Record presented the Roquette-Gala at Teatro de Cultura Artística at Rua Nestor Pestana. From 1959 onwards it would be held at their own Teatro Record, on Rua da Consolação.

1963. 

1963 Roquette Pinto Award was presented on Saturday, 14 March 1964, only 2 weeks before the Brazilian Army overthrew President João Goulart on 1st April 1964, and imposed a harsh Military Dictatorship which lasted more than 20 year. 

Brazilian democracy was raped on 1st April 1964. A right-wing conspiracy between the military brass and most part of the established media with the veiled prodding of the US government simply deposed President João Goulart and put up a General in his place. 

Radio & TV Record as well as TV Tupi were conspicuosly silent about the violence perpetrated against Democracy, just 10 days before. They were actually glad of the change mostly because TV Excelsior, the new kid on the block (it had begun broadcasting on 9 July 1960) was Number One in the ratings... so they welcomed the 'change of government'... but they were soon to regret bitterly their folly.
