I was under ten years of age when I fell in love with Carmen Miranda, 70 years ago. It was at The Grand Palace cinema in my home town in England. At last, when I was In Brazil after a Christmas cruise (2017) I was reintroduced to her by Wilson a Brazilian. He helped me to find her again. Thank you Wilson.

I am simply amazed by the cinematography.

Carmen Miranda canta com inglês cheio de sotaque "latino" de propósito, faz parte da personagem que ela magistralmente criou não só para o Brasil mas para o mundo. Sinceramente, não vi até hoje nenhuma artista brasileira tão multimídia como ela. Olhares, mil expressões do rosto, voz, dança, figurino, cenário. Parece que Carmen é uma comissão de frente e o carro abre-alas de uma escola de samba. Será que o carnaval carioca teria se inspirado nela em suas fantasias e na organização das alas? A maior artista pop brasileira sem dúvida insuperável até hoje. E não é nenhuma ofensa dizer que ela é brasileira, mesmo tendo nascido em portugal porque tudo que ela canta, dança e seu figurino são da cultura brasileira. Agradeço aos irmãos portugueses por ter nos enviado tão lindo talento. Sem a cultura brasileira não existiria Carmen Miranda e vice-versa rs ... Que interessante: Carmen Miranda e Luis Gonzaga dois grandes artistas que influenciaram a cultura brasileira contemporânea, migrantes. Ela de portugal para o Rio, do Rio para os EUA. Ele, de Pernambuco para o Rio.

This is so fun! It is goofy, super fun, sweet, and sexy in the most surreal yet innocent way. I cannot imagine how long they had to work to get everything so perfectly coordinated. It is just great fun. And Carmen Miranda us just the best!! So talented, so lovely

Her voice is so amazing.

This brings back my childhood years ... oh my gosh! ❤❤❤😂 Carmen Miranda was my very first love of Brasilian music and American theater music. ❤❤❤ I will never ever forget her charming and colorful singing and dancing. 💃😇💖💝

Everything about this is simply amazing. So much joy and imagination

She was very versatile. She's kind of like Judy Garland in that way, singing dancing acting, playing different roles. She had so much potential besides your pan-Latina image. Carmen could dance and move and speak in a way that nobody in the States had seen before even in Brazil her band mates in Bando da Lua said she could speak and make up nonsense words, like American Jazz scatting. A decent singer, I'm always impressed by her vocal range too. I love her. Even if she was stereotyped, I adore her as if she comes from a culture of her own invention. Ay Ay Ay I like her, VERY much lol

Não podemos negar a influência da cultura portuguesa no Brasil e vice-versa. Afinal, ela sendo nascida portuguesa adquiriu toda a cultura brasileira aqui: suas roupas, seu ritmo, seus olhares, o samba, tudo que está em Carmen Miranda é fruto da cultura brasileira, mesmo ela tendo cantado nos EUA e em alguns momentos em inglês.

Technicolor is a superior color process, even in '43. Color was 'stepped up a notch' even exaggerated. They've been toying around with color in movies since the silent days.

It is gorgeous watch Carmen Miranda. She and her music are wonderful!

magnificent and unequalled!

@juliaevelyns

cof cof. Os videoclipes só apareceram na segunda metade dos anos 60, qdo se popularizaram. Carmen Miranda, assim como Elvis Presley e até os próprios Beatles, antes de 67, *não produziam videoclipes* - até pq nenhum artista produzia clipes até então. Na época os artistas costumavam promover suas músicas com filmes. A exemplo disso cito novamente Carmen Miranda (ela fazia filmes nos EUA nos anos 40, mas tb já fez filmes no Brasil pra promover suas músicas nos anos 30), Elvis Presley que já fez vários filmes, sobretudo na década de 50, The Beatles, com A Hard Days Night (1964, vale mt a pena assistir), Help! (1965 esse é "legalzinho") e Magical Mystery Tour (1967 horrível, não assistam kkkk só as músicas são boas). Em 1967, os Beatles já não estavam mais fazendo shows, mas como ainda estavam no auge da fama, sempre eram convidados pra ir a programas de TV. Foi então q eles gravaram os primeiros videoclipes para promoção de música (foram as músicas" Strawberry Fields 4Ever" e "Penny Lane". Se vc vir, vai reparar q são quase iguais os clipes - mesmos cenários, roupas... mas é pq foram lançados juntos mesmo). Elvis Presley não sei qdo gravou seu primeiro videoclipe, mas sei q os Beatles foram os primeiros artistas a fazê-lo. Carmen Miranda nunca gravou videoclipes, porque faleceu nos anos 50... Acho importante registrar isso pq a gente vê hoje "clipes" de músicas de Carmen Miranda, Judy Garland, Marilin Monroe... mas muitos se confundem porque não sabem q esses "clipes" na verdade são cenas de filmes, capice? ;)

Carmen Miranda was born Maria do Carmo Miranda da Cunha on February 9, 1909, near Porto, Portugal, in the town of Marco de Canavezes. Not long after her birth her family moved to Brazil, where her father was involved in the produce business. The family settled in the then-capital city of Rio de Janeiro. After leaving school, Carmen got a job at a local store, and often began singing on the job. Before long she was discovered and got a singing job on a local radio station. She ultimately got a recording contract with RCA. By 1928 she was a genuine superstar in Brazil. As with other popular singers of the era, she eventually made her way into the film world. She made her debut in the Brazilian documentary A Voz do Carnaval (1933). Two years later she appeared in her first feature film, Alô, Alô, Brasil (1935). However. it was Estudantes (1935) that seemed to solidify Carmen in the minds of the Brazilian movie audiences. Now they realized she could act as well as sing. Although there was three years between "Alo, Alo Carnaval" and Banana-da-Terra (1939), Carmen continued to churn out musical hits in Brazil. The latter film would be the last in her home country. In late 1939 Carmen arrived, with much fanfare in the press, in New York City. She was now ready to capture Americans' hearts with her talent. She appeared in some musical revues on Broadway and, just as everyone thought, was a huge hit. In 1940 Carmen was signed to appear in the Twentieth Century-Fox production Serenata argentina (1940), with Betty Grable and Don Ameche. The only complaint that critics had was the fact that Carmen was not on the screen enough. In 1941 she was, again, teamed with Ameche in addition to Alice Faye in That Night in Rio (1941). The film was extremely popular with the theater patrons. Her unique songs went a long way in making her popular. It was after A La Habana me voy (1941) that American cartoon artists began to cash in on Carmen's ever-growing popularity. In the 1930s and 1940s cartoons were sometimes shown as a prelude to whatever feature film was showing. Sure enough, the cartoon version of Carmen came wriggling across the screen, complete with her trademark fruit hat and wide, toothy grin. In 1942 Carmen starred in Secretaria brasileña (1942) with Betty Grable and Cesar Romero, both of whom she had worked with before. It was shortly after this that America began adopting her style of dress as the latest fad. 1944 saw her in three films: Something for the Boys (1944), Four Jills in a Jeep (1944) and Greenwich Village (1944). The first two did well at the box-office, but the last one left a lot to be desired. It was her last busy year in film. Carmen made one film each in 1945, '46, '47 and '48. After that she didn't make a film for two years, until Nancy va a Rio (1950), a production for MGM. Once again didn't make a film for several years, returning with Una herencia de miedo (1953). She did stay busy, singing on the nightclub circuit and appearing on the relatively new medium of television. However, "Scared Stiff" was her final performance on the silver screen. On August 4, 1955, she suffered a heart attack, although she didn't realize it at the time, during a live broadcast of The Jimmy Durante Show (1954). She went home after attending a party (she neither drank or smoked). Early the next morning, on August 5, Carmen suffered a fatal heart attack. She was just 46 years old. Her body was flown to her adopted country of Brazil, where her death was declared a period of national mourning.
