"Weekend In Havana" is a light hearted musical starring Carmen Miranda and Cesar Romero. Although the plot line is a bit light.. the dancing and singing shine in this truly enjoyable movie.
After a steamship line (think cruise ship back in the day) ship runs aground off the coast of Florida the executives are anxious to get all the passengers to sign a waiver to indemnify them of any wrong doing. They are able to do this for everyone except for one persistent passenger who insists that she be shown a good time to replace her lost vacation. A weekend in Havana seems like the trick... hilarity ensues as one man tries to show her a good time and romance at the same time.
It was great to see Carmen Miranda.. I had heard of her of course from my folks and through her fame but I had never actually seen one of her movies. She was excellent and her energetic style sets the movie. I enjoyed this movie for just that... a light and entertaining movie. (4.0/6.0)
