FRIDAY FAVOURITES No 16
I wonder if anyone remembers Carmen Miranda, the lady with the very elaborate head dresses which sometimes involved feathers or fruit or a myriad of other items. I was 9 when this film "That Night in Rio" was made but I know I saw it perhaps a few years later when I used to go the pictures (movies) with mum and dad. I always rather liked this tune "Yi Yi Yi" and I hope you will enjoy it as well. As usual I found it on YouTube (what would we do with YouTube?)

ReplyDeleteCute! this is of course very famous and much imitated over the years. Don't recall Alice Faye - but Don Ameche had a very long and lustrous career. YAM xx
I imagine there have been many imitators although I don't recall them. Not being a movie I perhaps didn't see them.
DeleteI can just remember Alice Faye but not in any particular films. Don Ameche? Yes I remember him very well. xx
I used to love those big fancy head dresses, I didn't see many but they certainly were colourful.
ReplyDeleteI remember them from when I was a child and they fascinated me and made me wonder how she managed to dance without them falling off. I particularly remember one stacked high with fruit. All so colourful.
