"It don't make sense, the chica chica boom chic. But it's immense, the chica chica boom chic." Let us pause to ponder the immortal wisdom of these words, sung by Carmen Miranda in That Night in Rio, and then move swiftly on to effortless enjoyment of this splashy nonsense. Here we are in Rio--well, the Fox backlot--for an absurd tale of mistaken identity and romantic trading-off. Nightclub performer Don Ameche looks exactly like a famous South American airline magnate (also played by Ameche, natch), and so doubles for him during a lavish party when the Baron is away on delicate business. Alice Faye, still the top female star at Fox at this time, takes a supporting role, slightly miscast, as the Baroness. Faye always had the down-on-the-farm appeal expressed in her all-American face, but the form-fitting gold gown she wears during the party gives evidence of another kind of appeal; she's drop-dead sexy here.
The songs by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren are not copious, but Carmen Miranda has a couple of signature numbers and Faye sings "They Met in Rio." The plot had been adapted once before, as Folies Bergere, and would later surface as On the Riviera, with Danny Kaye. Extras include an informative 14-minute documentary about Alice Faye's life after quitting movies in 1945 (her two daughters contribute) and a deleted scene that has Faye and Ameche doing--you guessed it--"The Chica Chica Boom Chic." --Robert Horton

A fluffy musical confection with Alice Faye, Don Ameche, Carmen Miranda and the rest of the Fox musical "gang", 1941's THAT NIGHT IN RIO is noteworthy for being Ms Miranda's first main speaking role in an American film. It's also marked by a particularly glamorous Alice Faye, dressed in some lush Travis Banton costumes.
Nightclub entertainer Larry Martin (Don Ameche) makes a specialty out of impersonating wealthy lothario Baron Duarte in his act. So when the Baron (also played by Ameche) ... Read More

I bought this title as a Christmas gift to my father who is a Carmen Miranda fan of long standing. I'm a fan too.
Don't expect any challenges from the story except to try to make sense of it. I guess this would be called "farce". The premise is absurd and so is the resolution, but that's not why you watch a movie such as this. You watch it to see the performers, such as Carmen Miranda captured here in all her Technicolor glory. In Brazil she was a national hero and in the USA she was the ... Read More

I really love movies starring Carmen Miranda. I have nine of them. Since Carmen Miranda grew up in Brazil and was a very successful performer there, I believe that Liriel Domiciano must have watched all of Carmen's movies and learned to perform in a similar way. In Carmen's movie, "Cocacobana", Carmen Miranda sings her well-known song, "Chico, Chico, Loco Bom! Also, Groucho Marx does an act where he sings high notes along with a flute. I have a video of Liriel Domiciano singing "Chico, Chico, ... Read More

That Night In Rio is a musical that features wonderful song and dance numbers by some really great stars. We get Carmen Miranda singing and dancing up a storm; Alice Faye sings a couple of songs that she was born to sing; and even Don Ameche sings very well! The color is wonderful--they did a fantastic job restoring this excellent film!
The action begins in Rio de Janeiro when Baron Manuel Duarte (Don Ameche) and his wife Cecilia (Alice Faye) attend a nightclub where Larry Martin (also played ... Read More
