Perhaps this film was an attempt to hitch onto the Pan-American goodwill efforts of the 1940s. The contrived plot is a boy-meets-girl story, interrupted by musical performances of Latin American artists, some of which were Carmen Miranda wannabees, and none of which were memorable or even particularly good.
Leading man, Phillip Terry, just doesn't seem to have much screen charisma. Supporting cast members, Robert Benchley and Eve Arden, play the same characters that they did in countless other movies, so even their presence doesn't help this film. But don't blame the actors for what amounts to a bad script.
If there had been a notable musical performance, or some clever comedy in this movie, there might be a reason to watch itbut there isn't. What's worse is that the print recently broadcast by Turner Classic Movies wasn't in very good condition.
