Production

Wallace Downey began his career producing successful musical films for Americans with established artists from Brazilian radio. Carmen Miranda, star of this 1935 film, was one such star. A co-production between Waldown Filmes and Cinédia, Allô, Allô, Brasil! presented a multitude of singers, comedians and radio presenters, such as vocalists Francisco Alves and Mário Reis.

A close tie-in with the radio world manifested in this films storyline. Written by popular composers duo João de Barros and Alberto Ribeiro, it portrayed the adventures of a "radiomaníaco" who falls for a nonexistent radio singer.

The two genres of music synonymous with the carnival, including the samba and the march, had a prominent place in early Brazilian musicals and popular movies.[2]

Cast
gollark: And because of that complexity you need to throw money at lawyers to deal with legal things and may have to settle for a bad outcome *even if you're innocent*.
gollark: The current legal system is in my opinion one of the worst aspects of our society, as the law is so large and complicated that one person literally cannot understand it all and they can be imprisoned due to not knowing.
gollark: You don't need to actually *do* anything. The communist revolution is just inevitable...
gollark: After the communist revolution we'll just make people delete eevil capitalist data.
gollark: The legal system is baaaasically awful.
