What happens

Maracatumba... ma non è una rumba è un film italiano del 1949, diretto da Edmondo Lozzi e interpretato da Renato Rascel. Inizialmente intitolato Duello all'ombra e diretto da Gaetano Amata, venne ritirato dalla produzione e modificato due anni dopo col nuovo titolo da Enzo Trapani, che venne respinto dalla censura. Dopo ampie modifiche, il film fu proiettato nel novembre 1951. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
