Nancy Goes to Rio - [DVD]

<p>Pert and precocious Nancy Barklay (Jane Powell) is up for the leading role in a Broadway musical set in Brazil, but her seasoned stage-star mother, Frances (Ann Sothern), thinks she's got the part! A sticky situation becomes impossibly complicated after Nancy follows her mother to Rio -- where they both fall for the same man! Sidney Sheldon's witty screenplay provides a comedy of errors in which no one except Nancy's skirt-chasing grandfather (Louis Calhern) seems to know what anyone else is up to, least of all Barry Sullivan as beleaguered Brazilian Paul Berten! Filled with classic songs like "Embraceable You" and "Shine On, Harvest Moon" and spiced with the one-and-only Carmen Miranda, this extravagantly well-made musical sparkles with humor as it sambas to a Latin beat.</p>
