      sarah w a Great Musical from 1940 that is not from MGM doesn't mean it would be forgotten. Down Argentine Way is still one of my favorite musical movies along with Grease, Disney Princess Movies, and Royal Wedding. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The best musical movie ever made! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Even though Betty Grable had been appearing in movies since 1930, this was the film that rocketed her to stardom; a breezy score ("Down Argentina Way," "Two Dreams Met"), gorgeous Technicolor, and the film debut of Carmen Miranda (who sings "South American Way" and " Mama Yo Quiero") make this Fox musical quite enjoyable. A Nicholas Brothers dance specialty is the icing on the cake. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Betty, Charlotte and Carmen Miranda head down Argentine way with the Nicholas Brothers and provide bright shiny light as air entertainment. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member "On the one hand there's Carmen Miranda; on the other everything else." Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A 1940s Broadway musical with a plot as thick as tissue paper. The costumes were wonderful but the songs and dances weren't. Not even Carmen Miranda was that great. Interesting story and overall was fun despite its flaws. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
