Flying Down to Rio

Banned from performing "in" town, Fred (Fred Astaire) does the groundwork for the stage show on airplanes, Honey (Ginger Rogers) out front, song credited to Vincent Youmans, Gus Kahn and Edward Eliscu, in RKO's Flying Down To Rio, 1933.

New in town and preparing for a big-band competition, Fred (Fred Astaire) and Honey (Ginger Rogers) decide to take a turn with the local dance, in Flying Down To Rio, 1933.

Franklin Pangborne can’t wait to fire bandleader Gene Raymond from his Miami gig when he shows up just in time, with accordion player Fred Astaire, for Ginger Rogers’ number by Vincent Youmans, Gus Kahn and Edward Eliscu, Dolores del Rio in the house, early in Flying Down To Rio, 1933.

Fred Astaire (as "Fred") exchanges snark with Ginger Rogers (as "Honey"), in their first RKO musical, then schools some lethargic dancers in Flying Down To Rio, 1933.
