Walter Lang directed this 1941 feature, with occasional disconcerting seizures of good taste.

A fun romp through Cuba with some singing and dancing. Not much substance, though. Why does anyone love one another?

7.5/10. Delightful musical comedy with a terrific cast. John Payne is excellent, Alice Faye is well cast and the supporting cast is superb, especially Carmen Miranda and Cesar Romero. Fun, entertaining and has great musical numbers. Excellent sets, fine costumes.
