Perfumed Ball ({{langx|pt|Baile Perfumado}}) is a 1996 Brazilian film directed by Lírio Ferreira and Paulo Caldas. Starring Duda Mamberti and Luiz Carlos Vasconcelos, it shows the history of how Benjamin Abrahão befriended Lampião, the leader of the Cangaço, and filmed his crimes — a feat the Brazilian army was not able to accomplish.{{cite web | url=https://variety.com/1997/film/reviews/perfumed-ball-1117432671/ | title=Review: 'Perfumed Ball' | author=Young, Deborah | date=June 18, 1997 | work=Variety | accessdate=February 1, 2014}} It used footage taken in 1936 for Abrahão's 1959 film Lampião, o Rei do Cangaço.{{cite web | url=http://www.cinemateca.gov.br/cgi-bin/wxis.exe/iah/?IsisScript=iah/iah.xis&base=FILMOGRAFIA&lang=p&nextAction=lnk&exprSearch=ID=015142&format=detailed.pft#1 | title=Baile Perfumado | publisher=Cinemateca Brasileira | accessdate=February 1, 2014 | language=Portuguese | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160314234835/http://www.cinemateca.gov.br/cgi-bin/wxis.exe/iah/?IsisScript=iah%2Fiah.xis&base=FILMOGRAFIA&lang=p&nextAction=lnk&exprSearch=ID%3D015142&format=detailed.pft#1 | archive-date=March 14, 2016 | url-status=dead }}{{cite web | url=http://www.cinemateca.gov.br/cgi-bin/wxis.exe/iah/?IsisScript=iah/iah.xis&base=FILMOGRAFIA&lang=p&nextAction=lnk&exprSearch=ID=036862&format=detailed.pft#1 | title=Lampião, o Rei do Cangaço | publisher=Cinemateca Brasileira | accessdate=February 1, 2014 | language=Portuguese | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160314094329/http://www.cinemateca.gov.br/cgi-bin/wxis.exe/iah/?IsisScript=iah%2Fiah.xis&base=FILMOGRAFIA&lang=p&nextAction=lnk&exprSearch=ID%3D036862&format=detailed.pft#1 | archive-date=March 14, 2016 | url-status=dead }}
