Video Beaverhausen: Carmen Miranda Is Copacetic at the Copacabana with Groucho

Crazy fun when Carmen Miranda meets Groucho Marx at the Copacabana!

The pair had real comic chemistry in this film that is incredibly silly fun. It's directed with a sturdy hand by Alfred E. Green. And the eternally handsome Steve Cochran co-stars.

Complications ensue when agent Groucho books Carmen as two different acts at the Copa: as Carmen and French chanteuse Fifi.

Groucho gets in some great one-liners and works those eyebrows better than Joan Crawford. Miranda is also quite funny, displaying her comic talent.

It's all sit-comish but it's a lark. Recommended if you're looking just a little fun from the golden days of Hollywood. And a Tico Tico to you all!
