Movie Reviews of Week-End in Havana
Movie Review: First Rate Factory Musical! Fantastic Music! Carmen Miranda!
Summary: 3 Stars
Sequels? Prequels? In the old days, Hollywood just changed a few actors, re-wrote a few lines, changed the setting and added a few new dance numbers and Voila! New Film! This is factory film at its best! Most of the crew from "Song Of The Islands" is here, but Grable has been ditched for Alice Faye (Yahoo!) and Hilo Hattie for Carmen Miranda (Yahoo!)(and I love Hilo Hattie). Instead of two yachtsmen drifting ashore in Hawaii, Faye's cruise ship runs aground off Cuba. She saw the Captain where he shouldn't have been, and won't give in, so John Payne, agent for the shipping company (and soon to wed the boss's daughter) flies her to Havana, and escorts her the best he can. Carmen Miranda shows up and wiggles and jiggles her way in and amongst the english language and big hats; and way too quick, you're at the big musical finale, which these films did so well. One point here, look towards the lower center right screen for the male dancer who gets hopelessly lost. All of his embarrassment shows up on VHS, only part of it on DVD. Once again, this ain't high cinematic art, but man o man, it's a highly watchable film, with great music and likeable characters. This is the stuff that made Hollywood famous.
Summary of Week-End in Havana
A salesgirl (Alice Faye) threatens to cause trouble when cruise ship runs aground and vacation is ruined. As compensation, she soon gets a free first class Havana holiday with the ship owner's future son-in-law (John Payne) as wall as some unexpected attention from a conniving gambler (Cesar Romero) and his girlfriend (Carmen Miranda).Comedy DVD Video
