Brazil

Brazil is perhaps the best of the handful of US films made by Brazilian singing sensation Tito Guizar. In typical screwball-comedy fashion the plot is set in motion by authoress Nicky Henderson who has hit the best-seller charts with her latest tome Why Marry a Latin? While researching her next book in Rio De Janeiro she finds out "why" when she meets handsome songwriter Miguel Soares. Upon learning about Nicky's book Miguel decides to teach her a few lessons in the affairs of the heart. Edward Everett Horton is also on hand twittering his way through the role of a well-meaning buttinsky. Thanks to the "Good Neighbor" policy of the 1940s South American musicals were a glut on the market but Brazil was good enough on its own merits to pay its way at the box office.
