Abstract

This paper discusses and relates three scenes regarding the first three Carmen Miranda films in the United States, Down Argentine Way (1940), That Night in Rio (1941) and Week-End in Havana (1941). The goal is to discuss how the sceneries of the chosen scenes dialogue, establishing in the cinematographic narrative a strong duality between modern and civilized versus delay, agrarian and savage, as representations of the relations between the United States and Latin America in the context of Good Neighbor Policy.
