The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Copyright 30 May 1947 by Beacon Productions, Inc. Released through United Artists. New York release at the Broadway: 11 July 1947. U.S. release: 30 May 1947. U.K. release: December 1947. Australian release: 20 November 1947. Sydney release at the Empire: 8 November 1947. 8,525 feet. 93½ minutes.SYNOPSIS: Agent induces not overbright nightclub manager to hire a non-existent double act.COMMENT: Groucho's first film without his brothers was not a box-office success despite the fact that he appeared "in character" for an attractively chorused (and costumed) song number, "Go West, Young Man". The energetic support of Carmen Miranda in a dual role, some pleasant songs and a bevy of "Copa Girls" could not save a lame and rather talkative script. The players try hard (Gloria Jean is particularly agreeable and has a catchy production number), and even Alfred E. Green (whose direction is usually ploddingly pedestrian) makes a few laudable attempts at atmosphere, pace and inventiveness. All to no avail. The jokes are stubbornly stale and heavy-handed, the plot unintentionally ridiculous, and the characters one-dimensionally garrulous.Copacabana could be saved - it would cut down to a fairly entertaining two-reeler for nightclub buffs. Of course this would remove most of Mr Marx and as he is the reason most people will want to see Copacabana, such drastic trimming is not likely. A pity. I've got a soft spot myself for the old Groucho, but Copacabana sticks him with such gummy material it's downright impossible to unglue.

Groucho Marx is a little older and a tad slower in "Copacabana", but many of his one-liners still score, and he made me laugh out loud more times than I can remember. Carmen Miranda manages to keep up with him every step of the way, and she is also funny and entertaining. There is a little too much of the sugary-sweet Andy Russell and Gloria Jean (don't get me wrong, Jean is quite lovely, but her overextended fantasy / musical number somewhere in the middle definitely slows the movie down a lot), and maybe not enough of the real Copa Girls themselves, who are simply wonderful: beautiful, radiant and personable. But my absolute favorite moment in this film is a very small one, where Groucho and his then-wife (playing the "Cigarette Girl") exchange eyebrow raises! On the whole, "Copacabana" is about on the level of a lesser Marx Brothers movie (like "Go West" or "The Big Store"), and certainly preferable to their worst one, which is probably "Room Service". **1/2 out of 4.

Groucho are Carmen Miranda are Marvooolussss together. What a great combination and beauty and the beast. The movie has it all, cheesey musicals, goofy love scenes and Groucho's one liners. Buy it if you are a Groucho fan.

If you love Groucho Marx or love musicals this is the movie for you. Groucho Marx is still the funniest man alive. Groucho Marx is witty as a slippery agent to Carmen Miranda in this movie. I am a fan of anything he does or anything the "Marx Bros." are invovled with. (even though this is a solo act)This movie has it all musical numbers and laughs. The chemistry between Carmen Miranda(Carmen Novarro)and Groucho (Lionel Q.Deveraux) is incredible. I will go into the plot well it has to do with anarchy and misinformation with has been a playing ground of Groucho's for years. I would like to thank Groucho and his brothers for making me laugh when my our life I sometimes don't have much to laugh at. Fellas you were trully are blessed. Thank You. P.S. Mr. Deveraux even brings back an old friend for a song and dance... don't ask you can't afford him.
