An insightful look at Carmen's life as a whole and not just the Hollywood years. Recommended
All good. Had been interested to see this documentary for some time. My daughter is named Carmen, partly inspired by her and the opera. She likes the name.

Carmen Miranda was the greatest Brazilian Queen
Awesome childhood and Adulthood! She wanted to be famous! Great talent! She spoke English very well in the films. I can't understand the Portuguese language when she sang various songs but Gorgeously! Sadly she died so young at 40s in August 1955 RIP
