He notes that &#8220;despite some dull spots and a flimsy plot&#8221;, the picture remains &#8220;romantic, sexy, and delightfully and inventively kitschy&#8221;, with &#8220;some tricky camera work, unusual art design by Van Nest Polglase and Carroll Clark, and some creative production numbers&#8221; &#8212; most notably the &#8220;unforgettable&#8221; aerial ballet finale featuring &#8220;scantily clad chorus girls strik[ing] provocative pre-Hollywood poses on the wings of airplanes in flight&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>Indeed, while &#8220;Rogers and Astaire are the main reason this film&#8221; has remained in film lovers&#8217; consciousness (most know of it simply as the movie that sparked Astaire and Rogers&#8217; lengthy onscreen partnership), it&#8217;s ultimately more &#8220;bizarre&#8221; than &#8220;innocuous&#8221;, and offers some unexpected pleasures here and there &#8212; such as the use of shadowy silhouettes (accompanied by an unforgettably wonky musical theme) to represent the three &#8220;evil&#8221; bank members, or the surreal outcome of Del Rio and Raymond&#8217;s overnight island stay. Meanwhile, the culminating aerial sequence (complete with one chorine nearly falling to her death!) is certainly worth a look for curiosity-value alone &#8212; though it&#8217;s not quite enough to raise the film as a whole to the level of &#8220;must see&#8221; viewing. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Astaire and Rogers dancing the Carioca<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Flying-Down-to-Rio-Carioca.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Flying-Down-to-Rio-Carioca.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Flying-Down-to-Rio-Carioca.png 720w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Flying-Down-to-Rio-Carioca-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Flying-Down-to-Rio-Carioca-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Astaire finding himself unable NOT to dance when he hears band music starting up<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Flying-Down-to-Rio-Astaire.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Flying-Down-to-Rio-Astaire.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Flying-Down-to-Rio-Astaire.png 720w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Flying-Down-to-Rio-Astaire-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Flying-Down-to-Rio-Astaire-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>The justifiably infamous &#8220;aerial ballet&#8221; scene<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Flying-Down-to-Rio-Aerial-Ballet1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Flying-Down-to-Rio-Aerial-Ballet1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Flying-Down-to-Rio-Aerial-Ballet1.png 720w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Flying-Down-to-Rio-Aerial-Ballet1-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Flying-Down-to-Rio-Aerial-Ballet1-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Some fun pre-code zingers (see quote at beginning of review)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo, though of course anyone interested in the evolution of the Astaire-Rogers films will want to check it out. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0024025\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thespinningimage.co.uk\/cultfilms\/displaycultfilm.asp?reviewid=4449&#038;aff=13\">Spinning Image Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dvdtalk.com\/dvdsavant\/s2157asta.html\">DVD Savant Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.classicfilmguide.com\/indexab52.html\">Classic Film Guide Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tcm.com\/tcmdb\/title\/75236\/flying-down-to-rio#articles-reviews?articleId=17868\">TCM Article<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/movies\/flying-down-to-rio\">Time Out Capsule Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;What have these South Americans got below the equator that we haven&#8217;t?&#8221; Synopsis: Flirtatious bandleader Roger Bond (Gene Raymond) falls in love with a beautiful Brazilian socialite named Belinha (Dolores Del Rio), unaware that she&#8217;s already engaged to his friend Julio (Raul Roulien).
