Down Argentina Way -Horse Forioso But Film So-So**
14 January 2009
Warning: Spoilers
The singing and dancing are great. The plot is weak here with Argentinian, Don Ameche, with an authentic Spanish accent, romances Bette Grable. For some foolish reason, Ameche's father, an engaging Henry Stephenson, has it in for the Crawford family for an incident that took place long ago between him and Grable's father.

Charlotte Greenwood portrays Grable's aunt to perfection. The only thing she will admit to is being 31. She really kicks up her heels as does the rest of the cast.

Carmen Miranda portrays herself briefly in two dancing scenes. We can really say that she is wasted here.

There is another gem of a performance by J. Carrol Naish, as a Spanish worker for Stephenson.
