Only certain scenes of the film remain nowadays.
Carmen Miranda and Almirante made black face in the movie, according to newspapers from 1939.
It was performing the hit song "O que é que a baiana tem?" at Rio de Janeiro's 'Cassino da Urca' that Carmen Miranda met show business impresario Lee Shubert, who took her to Broadway, and subsequently to Hollywood.
This was Carmen Miranda's last film in Brazil, before moving to Hollywood, and it proved to be a great commercial success.
This was Miranda's first appearance dressed as a 'baiana', inspired by Dorival Caymmi's song, which would become her best-known costume and pan-Latin American identity.
