Carmen's career was stuck for years since the hollywood scene considered her only as "the perky foreign girl with fruits on her head dancing samba".Thats why She tried to change her image by dying her hair blonde and making her nose thinner with a plastic surgery.The results were not so good as she fell into cliche, being given dumb blonde roles.
WOW! What a beautiful gown! Carmen was SO beautiful herself! Elizabeth Taylor and the other girl looked offended for some reason by her singing?! LOL...funny. Thanx for posting! We miss u Carmen!
One of the subplots of the movie is that Jane Powell's (the other girl) character thinks that Miranda's character is having a torrid affair with her father (Wallace Beery). But Miranda's only been teaching him how to rhumba as a surprise for his wife.
By the way, "the other girl" was the star of the movie (1948). Taylor was playing the best friend. How movie careers do change.
The reason that they look "offended" by her singing is because they were acting. This clip came from the movie "A Date With Judy."
They were told to look at her that way. If you can find the movie somewhere (amazon or your local library) it is worth watching. You are right--Carmen was hot stuff!!!
Omg this was a funny movie!!!
Thank you for the upload.

I love this performance. Elizabeth Taylor and Jane Powell are so hot. It is hard to believe this movie is 60 years old.
