Today I’m posting this old film from 1942 of Carnival Time in Brazil. In Europe and much of the world WW2 was raging, but in Rio de Janeiro the fun and jollity went on regardless, an ocean away on a different continent. This film is a bit jerky and flickering as it’s old film reel being shown on a 16mm projector. - Brazilian Music & singer Elsie Houston.

Lucky you!
Hard to imagine the British ever enjoying such abandon.

Speak for yourself Roger…I was quite the rock chick at one time and knew how to enjoy myself!
@Marionville OK but I suspect the last time the Brits really let their hair down was Victory in Europe Day.
@rogerbenham I was less than 2 months old on VE Day!
