Down Argentine Way (1940)

GLAMOROUS BUENOS AIRES NIGHT LIFE WITH SOUTH AMERICAN'S TANTALIZING, TORRID-VOICED CARMEN MIRANDA

The story—in which an American heiress on holiday in South America falls in love with an Argentine horse breeder against the wishes of their families—takes a backseat to the spectacular location shooting and parade of extravagant musical numbers, which include the larger-than-life Carmen Miranda singing the hit “South American Way” and a showstopping dance routine by the always amazing Nicholas Brothers.
