Description

Flying Down to Rio (RKO, R-Late 1930s-Early 1940s). Canadian One Sheet (26.25" X 41.5").
High kicking, skin baring chorus girls fill this incredibly scarce Canadian one sheet --a Heritage first! The first film to pair the legendary dance team of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers actually starred Dolores Del Rio and Gene Raymond as the romantic leads, but when Astaire and Rogers danced The Carioca and everyone knew who the real stars were. With beautiful saturated colors, this poster shares a design similar to the one sheet and midget card we've previously offered only once. It's in exceptional condition, and received the highest grade allowed for posters on linen (which has been trimmed to the border). A highly unique find and irresistible poster! Very Fine+ on Linen.
