O cinema de Carmen Miranda: análise fílmica de Copacabana (1947)

Abstract

This is an analysis of the movie Copacabana (1947), musical comedy, black and white, a United Artists production, directed by Alfred E. Green and starring Groucho Marx and Carmen Miranda. The selection of scenes for the study established the following criteria: be a musical number and have the presence of Carmen Miranda (playing Carmen Navarro). Thus, the musicals Tico-Tico no Fuba, He Hasn’t Got a Thing to Sell and Let’s Do the Copacabana were analyzed. The results indicate the representation of Brazil in the character, few cuts in the scenes and the emphasis on other characters, besides Carmen, in the musicals. Keywords: Carmen Miranda, movie analysis, Copacabana (1947).
