Notable musical numbers, especially the dream in which the three suitors are disputed the love of the star. Ninon Sevilla travels to Brazil, where she was idolized.

According counted Sevilla, when the team was shooting the film in Brazil, had problems with the reflectors. The actress personally appeared before the then President Getúlio Vargas to request his intervention.
