p.s. the film with "urdus" (vultures) in the title is "Cinema, Aspirinas e Urudus" (Cinema, Aspirin and Vultures). The German guy travels around poor, inland towns dispensing cinema and showing films. Carmen Miranda movies were, of course, totally Hollywood (and she was actually born in Portugal, but did move to Brazi as a very young girl), but were controversial in Brazil, where some strongly criticized her for giving a false picture of Brazilian culture (she was largely forgiven before she died in Brazil). There is a very small Carmen Miranda museum in Flamengo Park in Rio, typically overlooked by most tourists (and even by many residents we know).
