Brazil (1944)

Brazil is perhaps the best of the handful of US films made by Brazilian singing sensation Tito Guizar In typical screwballcomedy fashion the plot is set in motion by authoress Nicky Henderson who has hit the bestseller 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 Nickys 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 wellmeaning 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
