	Actors - Flying Down to Rio

Flying Down to Rio is a movie made by RKO and released on December 29, 1933.

The film was directed by Thornton Freeland and starred Dolores del Rio and Gene Raymond. The film is remembered today primarily for the teaming of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, in relatively minor roles, who would go on to star in nine more films together. Their first dance together on film, "The Carioca", appears in this film.

Astaire is an accordion player and deputy leader of an itinerant orchestra, and Rogers is the singer with the orchestra. Whilst playing in a nightclub, the orchestra is fired when its leader, a matinee idol with a roving eye, flirts with a guest, a rich Brazilian girl engaged to be married.

The band manages to secure an engagement in Rio de Janeiro, where they become embroiled in the machinations of some shady businessmen who want to make sure that a new hotel does not open. The hotel, of course, does open and the orchestra leader marries his Brazilian girl.
