Flying Down to Rio -- Wacky musical comedy in which a bandleader (Gene Raymond) takes a job in Rio de Janeiro where he unknowingly romances the fiancee (Delores Del Rio) of a pal (singer Raul Roulien). Directed by Thornton Freeland, the proceedings are dominated by a genial pair of hoofers (Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers) who stage the show-stopping finale with showgirls performing on the wings of biplanes. Stylized violence, romantic complications and sexual innuendo. (A-III) (br) ( 1933 )
