Flying Down to Rio

About the Item

Original Swedish film poster .The legendary dancing partnership between Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire began with 1933’s Flying Down to Rio, a straightforwardly charming screen musical about an ill-starred romance. Though they only had supporting roles, the pair stole the show with their quick-stepping, jazzy number ‘Carioca’. In 1933, the United States was still in the midst of the Great Depression, and the infectious exuberance of Astaire and Rogers’s performances could not have failed to lift the audience’s spirits. Their vivacious dancing was such a delight to watch it prompted a series of nine collaborations in only six years, earning both Astaire and Rogers enduring fame and recognition. To date I can find no other example of this poster that has surfaced. This piece is conservation linen backed and it would be shipped rolled in a very strong tube and send by Federal Express.
