This is Carmen Miranda's only pre-Hollywood film that has survived entirely since all her other Brazilian movies are considered lost.
The idea for the film evolved from the need to introduce to the general public to the great singers of the Golden Age of Brazilian radio, since there was no television and the low-income population had practically no access to casinos for live shows.
The film was reedited to its original cut in 1986 after some scenes from comedian Jorge Murad were found at the Rio de Janeiro's Museum of Modern Art's Cinematheque. At the end of the year 2000, the film was totally restored, with remastered sound, which was a complicated process due to its shrinkage and the requirement of a frame-by-frame copying technique.
It was the first Brazilian film to use the playback sound technique in musical numbers, although only used in some scenes and with the original sound still being heard in the background.
Linda Batista's debut.
