Copacabana is a 1947 American musical comedy film directed by Alfred E. Green starring Groucho Marx, Carmen Miranda, and Steve Cochran. Groucho appears for the first time in his own person, without his traditional greasepaint mustache and swallow-tail coat. (He does don the old makeup and costume for one last time, in a specialty number.) This was Groucho's first significant film appearance as a solo act, minus his brothers Harpo and Chico.
