the best musical number in a movie ever! perfect ending for Mardi Gras and Carnival!
-
The best part about this is how the visiting American band members are "sandbagged" by the sleepy opening notes of the song - in less than half a minute their expressions go from smug to "Uh-oh!"
-
I only knew this song from Kentucky Fried Movie. I knew it wasn't written for that movie, but didn't know what it was.
-
The Carioca was written by Gus Kahn. Danny Thomas did his life story on film, with Peggy Lee as his wife.

"We'll show them a thing or three" -- You sure did, Ginger.

I love that Fred is already dancing at his table before he and Ginger hit the dance floor...
-
I think Woody would prefer the foxtrot.

A great movie and this my favorite part. Everytime i hear the Carioca i'm singing it all day. For some reason i feel i'm in a Woody Allen film!

Must be getting old!
Mr. Astaire turns on the charm at 4.55. There´s some real chemistry there...
