Vintage bird's eye view of Rio de Janeiro

Roberto Carlos is the most famous singer in Brazil, and the press often refers to him as 'the King'. The leader of a 1960s pop music movement in Brazil knows as 'Jovem Guarda', like Elvis Presley the singer used cinema as a vehicle to mould his feisty persona. The sequence below is taken from a 1967 picture called Roberto Carlos Em Ritmo de Aventura and shows an amazing helicopter ride across Rio de Janeiro. Enjoy it.
