CARMEN MIRANDA - I LIKE TO BE LOVED BY YOU

[filmsprockets]

Thanks for sorting - I am writing a talk on Harry Warren at the moment so have been doing a lot of research on him - Carmen was wonderful and thanks for posting.

[DoniSacramento]

Your work on HW sounds a lot interesting. I'm sure you'll do a great job considering your close look and concern on what is and isn't by him to be known. I take the opportunity to invite you to drop by at Carmen's website I've created entirely in tribute to her at carmen dot miranda dot nom dot br. I think you'll enjoy it. Best wishes from Brazil.

[filmsprockets]

Harry Warren did NOT write this song from greenwich Village - indeed according to the Harry Warren website he wrote NONE of the songs in this film.

[DoniSacramento]

You are right. I was duped by IMDB. Correction has been made to the video description as you can now see. Thanks for calling my attention to that.

[JBfanforlife]

Not corny at all. I love this woman.

[TheSnowsbeauty5]

Such great entertainer's back then;)

[angelialvares]

Kind of Corny, but what the heck , Vive la spectacle!

[DoniSacramento]

I agree it can be corny to today's eyes. People are in general a lot tougher about feelings regarding someone else's nowadays than at that time - nearly 70 years ago. Anyway, "I still cook with gas"... :) Thanks for the post.

[tavinhogustavoigorlj]

@donisacramento 2:22 foi um corte de câmera? Ou só impressão minha?

[FeNesIX]

FIRST LADY GAGA EVER

LOL

[tavinhogustavoigorlj]

Uma vez coloquei esse vídeo em câmera lenta. Muito difíceis os passos.

[SuperCarmenmiranda]

eu amo esse clipe ,amo essa roupa amo tudo ,doni vc sabia que esse numero originalmente deveria ser do filme minha secretaria brasileira? eu adoro essa roupa que inclusive esta no museu carmen miranda doni dpois me add no orkut eu sou o lucas kovski amigo a monique abços

[DoniSacramento]

É verdade, aproveitava-se tudo nos estúdios da Era de Ouro de Hollywood. Tudo de bom, que fique claro. Mas a veste que está no museu de Carmen é uma réplica. A original se desfez. Abraços.

[tavinhogustavoigorlj]

@DoniSacramento Como se desfez?

[Slokiinho]

Carmen Miranda Rainha das plataformas ^^

[tavinhogustavoigorlj]

Muito bom!

[tavinhogustavoigorlj]

Talento Puro: Como ela sambava com aquela plataforma?

[DoniSacramento]

Oi Tavinho,

Você assistiu ao filme "Copacabana"? Nele, no número final, a fantasia de Carmen pesa (está no museu) mais de 12 quilos, feita de vidrilhos e peças de um lustre. Fora as plataformas de acrílico. É mole?

Abraços,

Doni 

[tavinhogustavoigorlj]

@DoniSacramento As fantasias dela sempre pesavam muito, mas algumas, elas "ultrapassavam o limite" para uma "pessoa normal", pois não é fácil dançar com fantasias com mais de 10 Kg.

[freakseed]

One of my favorite Carmen Miranda numbers! I could easily watch this over & over & over again! Thanks for posting! "You can bet your boots!" lol

[aureliopersone]

Has Anybody seen any video from Banda da lua in the united states?

[DoniSacramento]

I really don't understand the reason of your question. Or, you might not know that Carmen Miranda was accompanied by the members of the Banda do Lua themselves in all of her American movies. Not always the same members, but them anyway. They were also invited to appear in other American movies to honor Latin American countries without Carmen, though.

[aureliopersone]

@DoniSacramento

hey, thanks for the answer!!!

but I have a song from them, without carmem, its called ´in the mood´

where they sing in portuguese ´´Eddymondo´´

and i can´t find here on you tube!!

i know they were her official band, that´s why i ask, those guys were,or are awsome!!

thanks!

[DoniSacramento]

You're welcome. Look for this video "Nestor Amaral and Doris Day - "It's Magic" - 1948" here on YouTube and you'll see two of Carmen's band guys in this movie with Doris Day. The same guys also appeared in "To Have and Have Not" with Humphrey Bogart in 1944. I agree with you - really awsome. Did you know that the only member of the Bando da Lua still alive is 83 years old and lives in Mexico? He's the blond one and you can see him play in the video "Carmen Miranda on the Milton Berle Show".

[maleficentdiva]

WOW did you guys notice she is wearing PLATFORM SHOES? WOW I did not know they were around in the 1940's WOW, I love them, she reminds me of a DRAG QUEEN, very simliar, BUT I LOVE HER, SHE IS VERY CUTE!

[roberv38REC]

MUITO CHARME, BELEZA E FEMINILIDADE !

[djjun99]

It smells happiness, no? Thanks for post again!

[mauvetys]

Nice! i want more ;)))

It is happiness!!

[hebneh]

Have you seen the picture of Carmen dancing with Cesar Romero? It was intended to be an official studio publicity photo, and in it, Cesar is lifting her as they're turning past the camera. Except...you can see up her skirt. And she's not wearing any underwear.

In this scene, she's got on a similar type of skirt, but it's got a high cut in it - so high that you can see that in THIS case, she definitely has on an undergarment! And it matches the black sequins of part of her top.

[DoniSacramento]

Carmen would not wear any underwear not to let it mark up the on-body tight outfits. Many would make a great deal of that. Especially gossip journalists. She had to "dance to the music according to its rhythm", if you understand what that means. She was inside a huge mind grinding machine called Hollywood.

[nachoizaguirre]

mmm . I think I prefer Jim Carrey at "The Mask"

[USAeabusa2]

AhaHAH HI I I beg your pardon?...

[nachoizaguirre]

Well , i think it´s so overacted that Carmen only represents here a caricature of what she used to be when she was less "yanki".

a kiss from Argentina !!

[audreyanne08]

Her heels are so great! I want many pairs!

[pauldrake2511]

carmen was a very beautifull woman she had many lovers but they all loved her her looks feisty temper and sexyness got to most men in hollywood.she was greatly missed by all wen she left us.a real pioneer in her time.

[lazzkacz]

Genial!!!!!!!!!

[MUZIKNFILMZ]

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!!

[manga12]

Newsflash she was born in portugal, she lived most of her life in brazil yes, but She is just as white as any old american, though less was know about the cultures back then, and she certainly could sing, and who doesnot love the giant hats she wore it is her trademark.

[Celluloidkid]

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. There is also a museum dedicated to her in Marco de Canaveses, Portugal called "Museu Municipal Carmen Miranda", with various photos and one of the famous hats. Outside the museum there is a statue of Carmen Miranda.

[Celluloidkid]

Brazilian author Ruy Castro wrote a monumental biography of Carmen Miranda entitled Carmen After Four Years of Interviews, published in 2005 in Brazil. This book has yet to appear in English.

[DoniSacramento]

You're right! Editors & publishers should give it a serious thought and provide the book in English as well. I've read it in Portuguese. Simply great and very well detailed. Carmen's life & career were really amazing. A shame she left her fans so soon. Her memory & work are eternal though.

[Celluloidkid]

For her contribution to the motion picture industry, Carmen Miranda has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6262 Hollywood Boulevard.

[DoniSacramento]

She loves to be loved by us... Thanks.

[Celluloidkid]

I loved "The Brazilian Bombshell"..she was so colorfull and full of energy!! She just makes me laugh!

[topoche3]

okay, I love you Carmen, but your portuguesse songs are better ;)

[DoniSacramento]

Carmen would be delighted to hear that. She was a real nationalist and succeeded in singing in her movies songs in Portuguese which no one else would understand in America. She broke many taboos down. Thanks.

[boldstandard]

Wow! I love the devils in the background. I think there was never a Brazilian woman who wasn't gorgeous.

[FarahMalika83]

she is dancing her behind off in those super high platform shoes! lol and this was done live! imagine how many entertainers today would trip, stumble, and fall on their behind trying to do what carmen is doing LOL Major talent she is :-)

[DoniSacramento]

And the platform shoes were an invention of hers back in the late 1930s before coming to the US that she never thought of patenting. Many simply copied them. She wouldn't mind. Even at home she used to be wearing them. Such a woman!

[FarahMalika83]

wow that's amazing. had no clue.

[Travagliod]

I think it was Louis XV who invented the plataform shoes, wans't he?

[DoniSacramento]

Nope. It was Carmen Miranda! Louis XV only wore high heels.

[Luananewman]

Super inteligente!!! Ela cantava em inglês, mas a música é um samba bem brasileiro!!!! Intelligent girl! She sang in English, but her songs were true brazilian samba!!!!!!!

[supaho1989]

u mentioned she had surgery do u know what it was for?poor carmen!

[DoniSacramento]

In July of 1943, Carmen decided to have a (unnecessary) plastic surgery on her nose. The operation took 5 hours. Four days after doctors found a terrible infection on her liver caused by the operation. For weeks she stayed in hospital between life and death where she lost 10 pounds.

[riostud1]

please, can you tell me how Carmem Miranda dae(pass away)??? Thank you..

[DoniSacramento]

To satisfy a bunch of contract accomplishments, she had to take pills to stay up and pills to get to sleep. That went on for years. Her heart didn't understand that working kept her alive, it wouldn't let her cross her own limit, and then gave her a stroke at her 46. The early end of a joy factory. The amusing fruits remain thanks to her photos, records and movies.

[Celluloidkid]

The official cause of death given on her death certificate was untreated toxemia and heart failure. Her body was flown back to Brazil soon afterwards and the Brazilian government declared a period of national mourning.

[labachellerie]

c est vraiment genial!!!!

[DoniSacramento]

D'accord. Belle de nuit qui émerveille. Merci pour votre commentaire.

[dan020350]

the samba goddess

[desousa09]

Carmen Mirando was born in Portugal but when she was 3 yeas old her family moved to Brazil. She always considered herself to be Brazil

[DoniSacramento]

Not exactly. Carmen's father moved to Brazil alone, before the family. Carmen was then taken to Brazil when she was only 9 months old. Check out more on Carmen at her website: carmen dot miranda dot com dot br. Thanks.

[5thmonkey]

loool we can tell that she is not brasilian otherwise she could not speak with accent like that... she is portuguese born in the north of protugal...very cool

[Johnny1206]

She´s AWESOME !!!

[dddsb]

I thought this was from "The Gang's All Here?"

[DoniSacramento]

Nope. That's from "Greenwich Village", 1944. Thanks.

[songplugger]

This number was pre-recorded for SPRINGTIME IN THE ROCKIES in 1942, but was not used in that film.

[lalinha36]

eu nao gosto muito das musicas da carmen, mas esse vídeo é legal!!!!eu gostei!!

[twokeets]

Man, who is cooler than Carmen Miranda?

[DoniSacramento]

No one that I have ever heard of... The one & only... You can bet your boots on that... :-)
