Flying Down to Rio
Thornton Freeland
Flying Down to Rio [videorecording]= Thornton Freeland - United States RKO Radio Pictures 2006 - 1 videodisc (ca. 89 min.) sound, black & white. 4 3/4 in. - David W. Foster Collection .
Based on a story by Lou Brock and a play by Anne Caldwell.
From case cover:
"We'll show them a thing or three," Honey Hale (Ginger Rogers) says as she and Fred Ayres (Fred Astaire) take to the dance floor to do The Carioca. As events turned out, Astaire and Rogers showed us three times three, making nine more films after their breakthrough first screen teaming in Flying down to Rio.
"Too big for the earth, so they staged it in the sky!" ads declared for this spirit-lifter with a swell Vincent Youmans score and built around a romantic triangle played by Dolores Del Rio, Gene Raymond and Raul Roulien. It alsoincludes a dandy production number in which chorines soar on airplane wings. Rogers and Astaire are fourth- and fifth-billed, but their magic was undeniable. When the film ends, the last image we see isn't the leads. It's Fred and Ginger.
DVD video; Dolby Digital; monaural; NTSC; Regions 1; 16:9 widescreen.
English audio. Optional English, Spanish or French subtitles.
