Review of Copacabana (1947) by Red T — 20 Nov 2015

A waste of two talent greats. After the Marx Brothers peaked, it seemed the only plot line anyone had for Groucho was to be in desperate need of money. They pair him up with Carmen Miranda in this one as her two bit manager and fiance.

Unfortunately this is one of several pics Groucho did where he was a sheister or needing money or desperately trying to trick someone..it's a limp role after being the fast, witty guy no one could keep up with.

Lackluster scripts and his roles as either a guy on the run or broke completely goes against the grain of what he was born to be. Good thing his quiz show was right around the corner.
