British actress Angela Lansbury talks with someone across the table while Carmen Miranda has a tête-à-tête with someone else... circa 1947 when Carmen became a bottle-blonde due to her playing a double-role in the production of 'Copacabana' in whose set she met her future husband Dave Sebastian. This is what Bosley Crowther, The New York Times movie columnist said in his review:

'Carmen and Mr. Marx (...) together they scream and grimace through a succession of topsy-turvy scenes, some of them mildly amusing and other relentlessly dull (...) with Grouch trying to do for three people and Miss Miranda imitating two, the impression is that Sam Coslow, the producer, has understaffed his film'...

Carmen does a musical number in 'Scared stiff' (1953) her last flick; Aloysio de Oliveira plays the guitar on the left, Harry Vasco de Almeida plays 2nd guitar & Aloisio Ferreira (Lulu) plays conga: Russinho do Pandeiro (tambourine) was sick and could not play on that day.
