I loved it! It was wonderful to take a little South American trip.
A psychologist and his wife's oldest daughter Meg goes on a school trip to South America.
"She is going there to study the continent of the future, not to become a beachcomber."-Robert Dean
"South America is so far away and she is such a nice girl"-Mary Dean
Meg leaves the tour after enjoying Sao Paolo, Brasil. She sends a telegram to her folks that she will be staying an additional six weeks studying under the famous Eduardo Burroso.
"Well if she gets to stay down there on her own, I don't think it's fair I have to be in do early Saturday night."-Betsy
"Bessy would you please go downstairs and warm up the milk before you reassure your father into a nervous breakdown."-Mary Dean
There is so much comedy in this sweet film. When the family finds out that Meg is staying in Brasil, the father books tickets for the rest of the family to join her. When they arrive they are met by Meg and Senor Burroso...and given the news that Meg had been honored with an art scholarship for a year in Brasil, a very personal Burroso scholarship.
Meg is staying in The Women's Residence Club, but Burroso sets her family up in one of his new high rise apartments. Her dad is a little concerned as Eduardo is his age.
An unexpected plane stop on their sightseeing tour ends up in the most hilarious encounter with an American Air Force soldier from Georgia.
Jane Wyman is gorgeous in this film and plays a wonderful mom. The actor playing the concerned father is smart and hits just the right notes. And the sights of South America! This is a gorgeous postcard to all of the sights in Brasil, including Rio during carnival. Then there is an excursion to Lima, Peru for the bull fights...musical performances and flamenco!
"As soon as we get back to the hotel I'm going to write Ernest Hemingway quite a letter, quite a letter!"-Robert Dean.
"Are you implying that I am being overprotective about them? Emotional? Surely you know me better than that?"-Robert Dean.
"You can't go around spanking everyone just because they don't want to get married."-Betsy.
This was fun and funny...during quarantine it was also a lovely trip to South America!
