A Patota is a Brazilian telenovela produced and broadcast by TV Globo between 27 November 1972 and 29 March 1973, running for 101 episodes. It succeeded Bicho do Mato and was preceded by Helena,[1] being the third 6 PM telenovela broadcast by TV Globo.
It was the only telenovela created by Maria Clara Machado. It was directed by Reynaldo Boury and produced in black and white.[2]
Similarly to a large part of programs produced before 1975 by TV Globo, it was completely lost in a fire which affected TV Globo's collection in 1976, and only teasers and behind-the-scenes images survive.
