Salazar's Private Life by Jorge Queiroga (2009), with Diogo Morgado, Soraya Chaves, Margarida Carpinteiro, and others. Salazar invented the Estado Novo. This regime started as a result of a nationalist military coup against the Portuguese 1st Republic in 1926. Two years later, Salazar who was in the Catholic party, was called to make part of the military cabinet and to put public finances in order. Later he was appointed the prime minister. In 1968 he had an accident from which he never recovered. His regime survived him! The Estado Novo regime collapsed with a revolutionary military coup in 1974, four years after his death.

A vida privada de Salazar is a Portuguese Tv series based on true facts. It starts when he was a young man spending time at a seminary. Then he moves to Coimbra's university where he studies law and becomes a teacher. Over forty years he rules Portugal as a dictator. In the meantime, he did have a turbulent affective life but it seems that at the time that was all a big secret. This TV series deals mostly with Salazar's passion for women. Salazar never married and dedicated his life to his country, or at least that was what he believed and made the people believe...
