North and South America relations." A report in the MPAA/PCA filed noted that the picture was rejected for distribution in Ireland, although no reason was given. Soundtrack "Chica Chica Boom Chic" — Don Ameche and Carmen Miranda "The Baron Is in Conference" — Mary Ann Hyde, Vivian Mason, Barbara Lynn, Jean O'Donnell "The Conference" — Don Ameche "They Met in Rio (A Midnight Serenade)" - Don Ameche (in Portuguese) and Alice Faye (in English) "Cai Cai" — Carmen Miranda "I, Yi, Yi, Yi, Yi (I Like You Very Much)" — Carmen Miranda "Boa Noite (Good-Night)" — Don Ameche, Alice Faye and Carmen Miranda Reception The film was released in theaters on April 11, 1941, to enthusiastic audiences and mildly appreciative critics, with Miranda stealing the notices. Variety wrote that "Ameche is very capable in a dual role, and Miss Faye is eye-appealing, but it's the tempestuous Miranda who really gets away to a flying start from the first sequence." The Hollywood Reporter described her as "vivid, fiery and tempestuous," and The Los Angeles Herald-Examiner wrote that she was "outfitted in smart, barbaric colors, waving articulate hips and rollicking through the most fun of her Hollywood career." The Sydney Daily Mirror, said that "Apparently exotic Carmen Miranda's lips are as fascinating as her hands." Bosley Crowther of The New York Times dryly noted that "In spite of its hot Latin rhythms and the presence of Carmen Miranda in the cast, That Night in Rio departs but little from the stock musical comedy formula, which inevitably sacrifices originality... In fact, the only departure of even slightly revolutionary degree is the employment of Don Ameche in dual roles, instead of his customary single one - and that, in the eyes of some people (including ourself), is hardly a step in the right direction." In a much later review for the Chicago Reader newspaper, Dave Kehr wrote: "Shrieking Technicolor and Carmen Miranda are the main attractions in this routine Fox musical from 1941."
