  My husband and I loved it. The re-mastering of the DVD is wonderful, Don Ameche is in fine voice and Carmen Miranda moves better than most women...ever! She and her bad knock out those Brazilian melodies with great gusto and the Samba is danced much better by her than by the other dancers choreographed by Hermes Pan. Carmen was really the star. She should have had top billing over Alice Faye who floated through the film as if she was stoned. But I heard she was ill around this time. Still...she's beautiful and her voice is lovely and mellow. The costumes by Travis Banton were magnificent and there were many of them...including Carmen Miranda's. Althought they were as usual a bit over-the-top they were more elegant than usual.
I searched and searched thru they DVD and I'll be darned if I could find Maria Montez. Maybe somebody can post here which character she was (I know her name was Inex but never heard it mentioned in the movie.)

All in all it was a very good night of entertainment.
