      The rags to riches story of samba screen-siren Carmen Miranda is laid bare in this fascinating and entertaining documentary.

      In the 1940's she became an international star and unofficial ambassador for Latin America with her tutti-frutti costumes and infectious samba songs. Snapped up by the U.S. as the "Brazilian Bombshell", she became an instant star on Broadway and in Hollywood.

      Using archival film clips and revealing interviews, BANANAS IS MY BUSINESS investigates Miranda's importance for a whole generation of Brazilians and North Americans
