Synopsis

One of the most important films in the history of RKO Studios was a lightweight musical called Flying Down to Rio (1933). Not only did it save RKO from bankruptcy, it introduced the movies´ greatest dance team. Only the most dedicated film buffs remember who the stars were (Dolores Del Rio, Gene Raymond, and Raul Roulien), but every fan of movie musicals knows that Flying Down to Rio was the first pairing of fourth-billed Ginger Rogers and fifth-billed Fred Astaire.
In the early ´30s, "All-talking! All-singing! All-dancing!" was the kind of ad that drew big crowds. Busby Berkeley at Warner Brothers led the way, into wildly improbable musical extravaganzas, and all the other studios followed. RKO, just five years old and struggling, wanted to get in on the musical action, so studio chief David O. Selznick signed Broadway musical star Fred Astaire to make his film debut in Flying Down to Rio.
Astaire and his sister and dancing partner Adele had been Broadway´s top musical stars, until Adele decided to retire from the stage and marry a British nobleman in 1931. Fred was looking for new worlds to conquer, and film offered that opportunity. But by the time he arrived in Hollywood, Selznick had left RKO for MGM. He had been succeeded as RKO studio head by Merian C. Cooper, the producer of King Kong (1933), formerly a journalist, explorer, and aviator. Cooper wasn´t particularly interested in musicals, but producer Lou Brock managed to convince him to go ahead with Flying Down to Rio by describing a spectacular finale involving an aerial circus.
