IRREPLACEABLE Carmen Miranda. You may like her, you may not, but please recognize the fact that she was and STILL IS unique. There is no one like her.
I love how she says "No" at 2:14. Lol What a beautiful women, inside and out. I'm doing a research project on her. She was an absolutely amazing woman!!
Carmen Miranda must have had some strong neck muscles to ware those head dresses. When you compare her and the actors and actresses of that time with the actors and actresses of today, It would appear Hollywood has lost it's soul.
So full of life and good humor, even though she wanted to play more serious roles. There is a Carmen Miranda Museum in Rio that has some of her costumes and other memorabilia. In 1943 she was the highest paid woman in the world. There is one of her paychecks on display at the museum. She had a sister, Aurora Miranda, who was not as famous, but was cut out of the same cloth, and was also an actress.
They use bananas way more than I expected. The Latin American influence shines through with this video. Miranda portrayed the image of Latin America/Brazil in such a way that it was almost impossible to think Latin America was anything other than a bunch of fruit and attractive women.

What the heck happened to creativity In filmmaking?! I would Love to see someone make a movie like this, instead of the extremely boring and overly-done movies that you can predict every moment of that are out nowadays T.T
The meaning of this song changed so much, if it was sang today it would mean something completely different. at 02:45 she sings "the people say you dress so gay" LOL
@lopesmais You'll hear 'gay' in a lot of old movies--and of course it means to be 'very happy'--originally...was quite a favorite' in' word on H'wood 40's scripts.
Little point of trivia: "Americanos tell me that my "hat is high", because I am not take it off to kiss a guy" refers to the now outdated expression "She's too High-Hat for you" meaning she's stuck up or conceited like a Monopoly Game piece rich banker wearing a Top Hat. Probably lost on today's audiences.
NOT lost, however, would be: "...but if I ever start to "take it off", Aye-Aye! I did that once for Johnny Smith and he was very happy with The Lady In the Tutti Frutti Hat!"
How on EARTH did they manage to keep those monkeys to stay on cue? Oh, and the dancing is pretty good too!!! Carmen Miranda is the campest thing imaginable!
@Pantages98382 Thanks for setting me straight! I'm really embarrassed about my post now. A person I thought was knowledgeable about this film told me that useless non-factoid. I can now disregard it and everything else that person told me.
Carmen Miranda was born in Portugal and moved to Brazil ,when she was 10-months old, her father emigrated to Brazil and settled in Rio de Janeiro. Her mother followed in 1910, together with her daughters Olinda and Maria do Carmo.
Maria do Carmo never returned to Portugal, but retained her Portuguese nationality. In Brazil, her parents had four more children - Amaro (1911), Cecília (1913), Aurora (1915 – 2005) and Óscar (1916).
What is she singing? I speak Portuguese and understand nothing of what she speaks. Put the translation into Portuguese or put the letter in English so I use Google Translator
Don't stop HERE... rent the movie. It's a blast! It's a classic, and one of those all-time greats that everyone should see and not just for this and the other great musical numbers in it, but also for some of Hollywood's WORST acting. How that leading man (James Ellison) got the job must be one hellova' casting-couch story. Leading lady Alice Faye must have been cinema's only baritone, and Charlotte Greenwood could lift her legs straight out and over her head!
I consider this entire film, not to forget this number, to be the most outrageous, hilarious and most magnificently over the top spectacle ever on film. The person mentioning the Technicolor vivid saturation is bang-on in their comment, alas; this is indeed the best show-off example of this color, and I miss the postcard vividness today. Of course, maybe it doesn't really matter. They don't know how to make them like this anymore. Pure & glorious madness, an absolute pleasure & a treasure.
ths is the first time ive ever seen her... ive only heard of her on show like when they say ....... who are you ? carmen miranda....... if they r wearing a frutti hat.
@ 5:50, also earlier, an effect of plucking the guitar strings on the other side of the bridge - VERY John Cage-type avant-garde, I don't even think any classical composers had done that at this time, the first I know of is Allan Pettersson (sp?) in the '50s.
Phallic??? Excuse me but I don't see the innuendo here. I think that innuendo sometimes is more sought after than really implicit. It doesn't look phallic for me. If they had been men maybe.
Maybe more relevantly, what did choreographer Busby Berkeley want? But I get your point, it could have been coconuts or oranges and it would still be freaky. I think the general insanity is the main thing.
If I believed in a god, I would want it to look like Carman Miranda; full of joy, beauty, music and humor. She's the embodiment of LIFE. I think she embraces the stereotype and transcends it; her spirit is inspiring, even fifty years after her death. Read her wiki biography, she worked in a hat shop as a girl, how great is that? She's almost like a hindu goddess, her outfits seem to be made out of Christmas decorations. Check out chica chica boom chic video on youtube, its amazing.
I used to think they were fiberglass, but given the materials available at the time, my guess is that they're a wire frame with a canvas/paint or wire mesh/papier mache covering stretched over them. Whatever it was, they had to be relatively lightweight...
She sounds different in Portuguese. I mean, of course obviously she does since she has an accent in english, but in portuguese it's more nasal, stretched, y-ful.
This clip is what I would deem as a piece of movie history. The colour is incredible for 1943 and it is a symbol of uniqueness of film, especially for that era. It is so hard to believe that this is from 1943 because WWII was happening at that time. What a great video.
Techicolour is what this film was processed in. Techicolour has a higher colour saturation then most films did untill the 80's. Tecnhicolour is really more vivid then what most colour is in real life.
I really don't understand, all I see are women dancing with bananas. I don't understand why a movie would get banned because of women dancing with bananas, somebody please explain this to me.
Well, it was not only the phallic aspect of the bananas that led censorship to prohibit "The Gang's All Here" in Brazil. Narrow-minded authorities believed the movie depicted a depreciative portrait of the country, shown as a "banana republic", similar to smaller nations of Central America. In that time, Brazil was anxious to be recognized as a giant developing country and most Carmen Miranda's detractors thought her roles in Hollywood movies derided such ambition.
Dsbatista you describe that well yet you question why a people would be reluctant to be chatacterized as a buch of dancing phallic wearing charicitures? These are among the few representations of Latin America at the time and this became how people saw Brazilian culture. In fact, the highly sexed latino is still a stereotype that persist largely due to these images.
I doubt Carmen Miranda will have any affect on popular culture today. It's over 50 years since she died, and although there was a risque element to her performances, it was very tame by modern standards.
If you look at the era that this and other carmen miranda things were popular, you'll notice there was a BIG event happening that occupied a lot of people's minds. They wanted to see something this happy and surreal in order to get away from a frightening time.
LoL No daaarling Carmen was all about joy, happiness & sweetness & an extraordinary artist with a natural and real talent that is a total rarity in this age of madonnas & other cold hearted beasts
To a certain extant, that is true. United Fruit was our "good neighbor policy" with Latin America, which prevented the formation of unions and all that nasty vicious stuff that America is famous for. Nevertheless, Carmen Miranda was a marvelous performer and truly a phenomenon, given that she still fascinates and mesmerizes us.
A true pioneer for latinas and for introducing arrogant insular american whites to some semblance of latin culture at a time when they didn't know a mexican, from a cuban, from a brazilian, from a puerto rican!!
The Gang's All Here is a 1943 Technicolor musical film produced and released by Twentieth Century Fox. Its stars included Alice Faye, James Ellison, Edward Everett Horton, Charlotte Greenwood, Eugene Pallette, Benny Goodman, and, in one of her most memorable roles, Carmen Miranda. It was directed by one of the era's most creative visual pioneers Busby Berkeley.
Carmen's enormous, fruit-laden hats are iconic visual recognized around the world. These costumes lead to Saks Fifth Avenue developing a line of turbans and jewelry inspired by Carmen Miranda in 1939.
Visitors to Rio de Janeiro can find a museum dedicated to Carmen Miranda in the Flamengo neighborhood on Avenida Rui Barbosa. The museum includes several original costumes, and shows clips from her filmography.
Oh, I just realized that the movie "Myra Breckenridge" did an homage to this number almost thirty years later. It was a scene in the movie in which the legendary Mae West is performing.

20th Century-Fox had better Technicolor, wartime musicals than MGM but towards the end of the war that balance did shift over to MGM.
Still, the color art direction in these films is absolutely fantastic by any standard and "The Gang's All Here" is certainly no exception.

In fact, the highly sexed latino is still a stereotype that persist largely due to these images.

I doubt Carmen Miranda will have any affect on popular culture today. It's over 50 years since she died, and although there was a risque element to her performances, it was very tame by modern standards.

If you look at the era that this and other carmen miranda things were popular, you'll notice there was a BIG event happening that occupied a lot of people's minds. They wanted to see something this happy and surreal in order to get away from a frightening time.

Carmen Miranda was all about the marketing of bananas and tourism on the tropical countries of Central and South America....

To a certain extant, that is true. United Fruit was our "good neighbor policy" with Latin America, which prevented the formation of unions and all that nasty vicious stuff that America is famous for. Nevertheless, Carmen Miranda was a marvelous performer and truly a phenomenon, given that she still fascinates and mesmerizes us.

Work Dem Heels Mama!!--She Was Pure Fiyah!!
A true pioneer for latinas and for introducing arrogant insular american whites to some semblance of latin culture at a time when they didn't know a mexican, from a cuban, from a brazilian, from a puerto rican!!
Great strides Have Been Made Since Her Time,
But Their Is Still So Much More To Do!!
RIP Carmen Miranda, Celia Cruz, La Lupe!!

Carmen's enormous, fruit-laden hats are iconic visual recognized around the world. These costumes lead to Saks Fifth Avenue developing a line of turbans and jewelry inspired by Carmen Miranda in 1939.
Visitors to Rio de Janeiro can find a museum dedicated to Carmen Miranda in the Flamengo neighborhood on Avenida Rui Barbosa. The museum includes several original costumes, and shows clips from her filmography.

was it banned because it was racist and reflected badly on Brazilian society?

Simply sumptuous. Busby put the buzz in choreographica fantastica.
As for why it got banned in Brazil,
maybe it is because of 4:40 - 5:00...

Oh, I just realized that the movie "Myra Breckenridge" did an homage to this number almost thirty years later. It was a scene in the movie in which the legendary Mae West is performing.
