In 1928 Wallace Downey, a New York born executive of Columbia Records[, was sent to South America to install a Brazilian branch for his company. He quickly realized Brazil was an entertainment hot bed for potential markets in records and films.[1] In 1931 Downey produced and directed, Coisas Nossas, the first successful Brazilian film with sound. His 1935 film, Hello, Hello Brazil!, first introduced radio singer and actress Carmen Miranda to a larger audience paving the way to her international fame at 20th Century Fox in the United States. Downey later founded his own production company, Waldow S.A., in a partnership with Cinédia, producing musical films.[2] In 1938 Downey disbanded Waldow S.A., using the resources to create a new production company, Sonofilms.[1] Selected filmographyDirector
