classic hollywood: Down Argentine Way (1940) – Betty Grable and Carmen Miranda

A photo I have in my 8×11 photo collection is of Betty Grable and Carmen Miranda from the Irving Cummings film “Down Argentine Way” (1940).  Originally, the film was supposed to star Alice Faye but she was sick and Betty Grable ended up taking up her role.  The film ended up receiving three Academy Award nominations.  The photo is absolutely beautiful.
