The Camacha Sports Association showed its outrage on social media the team was held for more than two hours on the plane that was supposed to take them to Lisbon and ended up missing the connecting flight to Porto where they were going to play against Futebol Clube Alpendorada “It was also interesting to see the flight that would take us to Porto stopped in front of us on the runway for more than 30 minutes without letting us board we were the ones who had those 2 hours blocked on your flight from Funchal to Lisbon Thank you very much for only being able to put us on the 9pm flight to Porto and thank you again for being able to delay the flight by 1 hour we really see that you are shortening the wait for passengers,” wrote the Associação Desportiva da Camacha The team also reported that they ended up missing the dinner they had already paid for at the hotel where they were going to spend the night having only arrived at the hotel in the early hours of this Sunday we only have to be up at 8am for breakfast reporting this experience as having “a financial loss but above all a human loss” From Diário Notícias Enter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email.

Carmen Miranda – known as the “Brazilian Bombshell” in the U.S.; as A Pequena Notável (either “The Notable Gal” or “The Notable Little One”) in Brazil – would have turned 100 today in Marco de Canavezes) Brazilian-raised (in Rio de Janeiro) entertainer can be seen performing along with the Bando da Lua (Band of the Moon) what may well be her most popular song – Dorival Caymmi’s “O Que É Que a Baiana Tem” (“What Does the Bahiana Have?”) – in the 1939 Brazilian musical comedy Banana-da-Terra the original routine was shorter; the one above has been re-edited That probably explains the poor lip-synching midway through the clip.) two years before Miranda made her Hollywood debut “O Que É Que a Baiana Tem,” is reportedly Banana-da-Terra’s only surviving sequence It also marks the first time Miranda wore her beringed bedazzling Bahiana outfit – though (at least some of) Banana-da-Terra is set in Rio (as can be attested by the skyline at the beginning of the clip) Banana-da-Terra follows the Queen of Bananolândia (Dircinha Batista) as she tries to help her island-country get rid of its excess banana production by exporting the fruit to (of all places) Brazil where apparently people eat more bananas than they produce who might be described as a sort of Brazilian Totó or Cantinflas or Bob Hope I’d never seen “O Que É Que a Baiana Tem” until a few minutes ago, but it’s already my favorite Carmen Miranda number. Her “The Lady in the Tutti-Frutti Hat” from The Gang’s All Here (1943) may be more extravagant while her other show-stoppers in 20th Century Fox productions of the early 1940s may have been all impeccably produced – and in color – but it’s the very simplicity of the “O Que É Que a Baiana Tem” number despite (or perhaps because of) its zesty rhythms Carmen Miranda’s sister, Aurora Miranda (Phantom Lady The Three Caballeros) died at age 90 in Dec See also: MoMA’s Brazilian cinema series included rare Carmen Miranda title A Van Johnson Tribute featuring two of his most successful films, The Caine Mutiny (1954) and Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo (1944), will be held on Thursday, Feb. 26, at 7:30 pm at the American Cinematheque’s (website) Aero Theatre in Santa Monica (1328 Montana Avenue) Of the two Van Johnson films screening at the Aero I’ve only seen The Caine Mutiny (top photo one of the Hollywood Ten and the only one in that group who was able to resume his career after performing a radical turnabout and denouncing his colleagues to the House Un-American Activities Committee Dmytryk was an interesting director in the 1940s (check out his films noir Murder but his work in the 1950s and 1960s – e.g. Where Love Has Gone – tended to be way subpar is among the director’s most accomplished efforts of that latter period even though it’s hardly what I’d call a great – or even a good – film The good (actually great) thing about this cinematic adaptation of Herman Wouk’s Pulitzer-winning 1951 novel is Humphrey Bogart’s surprisingly effective performance as the paranoid Captain Queeg whose men decide to rebel against his tyranny and incompetence in the last days of World War II The bad thing is that in those ultra-nationalistic days – only a handful of years after the end of WWII and around the time of the Korean War when just about everyone was supposed to wave the flag at all hours (perhaps so as not to be subpoenaed in front of some Patriotic Committee or other as Dmytryk himself had experienced first hand) – The Caine Mutiny twists things around in such a way that the deranged captain ends up portrayed as a sympathetic victim while the mutineers ultimately come across as either misguided or cowardly assholes Best Supporting Actor Oscar nominee Tom Tully The 29th edition of Cinefest (website) will once again showcase an array of silent and sound shorts and features for those interested in discovering long-forgotten gems that more frequently than you’d expect turn out to be more enjoyable than much of what’s being made today Gary Cooper and Nancy Carroll in The Shopworn Angel; lower photo Elissa Landi and Cary Grant in Enter Madame.)

Portuguese beaches, stating that during the current bathing season, 41 beaches have already been closed and 46 have been advised against bathing, the majority in the municipality of Cascais the environmental association explains that these concerns result from a comparison between the results of the water quality of Portuguese beaches during this bathing season and last year “There are currently 664 bathing waters whose monitoring is reported with a limited number of beaches revealing problems but more significantly than in the last bathing season” The environmental association states that since the beginning of the bathing season (1 May) bathing has been advised against or prohibited on 46 beaches the analyses exceeded the limits technically established at the national level in relation to at least one of the two microbiological parameters that are assessed (Escherichia coli and intestinal Enterococci)” Also since the start of the bathing season The bathing waters that presented the highest number of situations of water unsuitable for bathing were Matosinhos with three situations of advice against or prohibition of bathing Molhe Leste (Peniche) and Azenhas do Mar (Sintra) each of them with two situations of advice against or prohibition of bathing is the one that registered the largest number of beaches affected by “inappropriate quality or closures” (six beaches) Zero also regrets the existence of “failures in the information provided on the Portuguese Environment Agency (APA) website” since “the reasons for the closure of bathing areas and the procedures by the Regional Health Delegates are not always properly explained” “There are 92 bathing waters without any test results available (14% of the total bathing waters) and practically all of the beaches are in the Autonomous Region of the Azores the APA page dedicated to communicating advice against and bans on bathing (https://apambiente.pt/apa/desaconselhamentos-e-interdicoes-da-pratica-balnear) represents an improvement in the communication effort but is not entirely consistent with the information from the Water Resources Information System” Zero defends the need to “investigate the causes” and prevent contamination” on inland beaches that were proportionally more affected the environmental association highlights the fact that “none of the “Zero Pollution Beaches” presented “significant water quality problems”
