Carmen Miranda DVD

Week-End in Havana

Alice Faye, Carmen Miranda, John Payne, Cesar Romero, Cobina Wright
Sequels? Prequels? In the old days, Hollywood just changed a few actors, re-wrote a few lines, changed the setting and added a few new dance numbers and Voila! New Film! This is factory film at its best! Most of the crew from "Song Of The Islands" is here, but Grable has been ditched for Alice Faye (Yahoo!) and Hilo Hattie for Carmen Miranda (Yahoo!)(and I love Hilo Hattie). Instead of two yachtsmen drifting ashore in Hawaii, Faye's cruise ship runs aground off Cuba. She saw the Captain where he shouldn't have been, and won't give in, so John Payne, agent for the shipping company (and soon to wed the boss's daughter) flies her to Havana, and escorts her the best he can.

That Night in Rio (Fox Marquee Musicals)

Alice Faye, Don Ameche, Carmen Miranda, S.Z. Sakall, J. Carrol Naish
A fluffy musical confection with Alice Faye, Don Ameche, Carmen Miranda and the rest of the Fox musical "gang", 1941's THAT NIGHT IN RIO is noteworthy for being Ms Miranda's first main speaking role in an American film. It's also marked by a particularly glamorous Alice Faye, dressed in some lush Travis Banton costumes.

Nightclub entertainer Larry Martin (Don Ameche) makes a specialty out of impersonating wealthy lothario Baron Duarte in his act. So when the Baron (also played by Ameche) is unexpectedly called away from Rio and can't appear at an important business function, who better to "replace" him than Larry? The ruse works perfectly.
