Review of Flying Down to Rio (1933) by Eric H — 26 Feb 2012
Fred and Ginger put their heads together for the first time to "Carioca" and create dance history. They are the sparky comedy couple mirroring the conventional romance, between buff blond bandleader Gene Raymond and one of the most exquisitely gorgeous women ever to grace the screen, orchidaceous Dolores Del Rio. There are lots of gratuitous flying scenes (including the finale, where high-kicking, high-heeled chorines are fastened onto airplane wings for the nutty title song) since the producer was a major Pan-American Airlines stockholder.
Watch it once!
