Movie Info

A theater producer hires Nancy (Jane Powell) to star in his Rio de Janeiro-based show, but neglects to tell Nancy's superstar mother, Frances (Ann Sothern), that she's been replaced. Both believing they have the part, Nancy and Frances head south. But when Nancy realizes she'd be ousting her mother, she quits, misleading her mother to believe that she was on the ship to Brazil because she's about to marry a fellow passenger. As her lie is exposed, a romance blooms and the show gets its star.

Who could completely resist a picture with Carmen Miranda having a bowl of fruit on top of her head?

Audience Reviews for Nancy Goes to Rio

Jan 29, 2012

Splashy and elaborate musical is tuneful and humorous. Ann Sothern, Jane Powell and Louis Calhern all give funny spirited performances in a plot that is of course absurd. Carmen Miranda is along for the ride and her outfits are a sight to behold! Her umbrella number is a feast for the eyes and of course she gives it all she's got. Good fun.
