Notes

General Note

Flying down to Rio -- Roberta -- Follow the fleet -- The story of Vernon and Irene Castle.

General Note

General Note

Flying down to Rio: From a play by Anne Caldwell; based on an original story by Lou Brock. Originally produced as a motion picture in 1933.

General Note

Flying down to Rio: This film, containing the first of many Fred Astaire - Ginger Rogers partnerships, concerns a band in Rio. Songs include "The Carioca, " "Orchids in the Moonlight, " and the title song. Pilot and band leader Gene Raymond woos Dolores Del Rio, and then learns that she is engaged to a friend of his, after he flys her home to Rio. Fred & Ginger provide the musical moments. Notable for a brilliantly photographed finale with chorus girls on the wings of flying airplanes, the movie was the musical that broke with the rather contrived Busby Berkeley production and moved toward a closer integration of musical and narrative elements. Astaire's dance numbers come not as interruptions but as extensions of the plot.
