My remarks above about Lucille Bremer notwithstanding, I, too, am a fan of Yolanda (ditto Minnelli's next colorful musical fantasy, The Pirate, in which the tongue-in-cheek tone emerged perhaps more successfully).
The complex, counterpoint metres cooked up by Astaire and arranger Lennie Hayton for the Warren/Freed "Coffee Time" number are a highlight and still fascinatingly hypnotic, abetted by the recreation of Copacabana Beach's iconic tiled sidewalk.
