Holiday in Havana (1949)

Trivia

Holiday in Havana

Edit
The film's music supervisor was Paul Mertz. It seems highly likely that Arnaz liked his name enough to use it for his neighbors on "I Love Lucy" about a year and a half later.
This was Arnaz's last big screen role prior to debuting as Ricky Ricardo on I Love Lucy. He not only has top billing and performs in several musical numbers, but actually wrote two of them: Holiday in Havana (the film's theme song) and a little ditty called "Arnaz Jam."
Desi Arnaz pronounces Cuba as Quba as Americans say it instead of COuba as Cubans pronounce it.
Lolita (Mary Hatcher) drives a 1949 Lincoln Cosmopolitan convertible; the Havana police drive a 1949 Ford.
Desi Arnaz pronounces Havana the American way with a V as opposed to the Spanish way with a B.
