Images from her memorial service in Rio de Janeiro follow, showing the grief of her Brazilian fans as she says goodbye to what she considered her homeland. Born in the small Portuguese village of Varzea da Ovelha e Aliviada on February 9, 1909, Carmen was appropriated by the people of her village as a symbol of success.

Le Brésil est peut-être le meilleur de la poignée de films américains réalisés par la sensation de chant brésilien Tito Guizar. À la manière typique d'une comédie délirante, l'intrigue est mise en mouvement par l'auteur Nicky Henderson, qui a atteint les palmarès des best-sellers avec son dernier tome, Why Marry a Latin? En recherchant son prochain livre à Rio De Janeiro, elle découvre "pourquoi" lorsqu'elle rencontre le bel auteur-compositeur Miguel Soares. En apprenant l'existence du livre de Nicky, Miguel décide de lui donner quelques leçons sur les affaires de cœur. Edward Everett Horton est également sur place, gazouillant à travers le rôle d'un buttinsky bien intentionné. Grâce à la politique de "bon voisinage" des années 1940, les comédies musicales sud-américaines étaient une surabondance sur le marché, mais le Brésil était assez bon par ses propres mérites pour payer sa place au box-office.
