No Place Like Movies at Home: Flying Down to Rio

 We are finally here! We are finally out of the Frank Sinatra movies! We are now back in the land of musicals! Not just any land but the land of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers!


We are kicking things off with their very first movie together Flying Down to Rio.




The movie centers around a band working at an exclusive resort but with strict order not to mingle with the guest. However, the band leader can not help himself. When he is caught the band the band is cut. However, as luck would have a friend of the band leaders is a manger of a new hotel that is opening up in Rio and they need a great orchestra. The other stoke of luck comes when the girl the leader was caught with is also going to the same hotel. Will love bloom wile Flying Down to Rio?


So, before we begin I have to say that this is their first movie together but they are not the star couple of this feature. They are a great side couple but it's not really about them. Funny enough they were so loved in this movie together it kicked off what ended up being a 10 movie collaboration. It was great seeing them being cute and dancing together, but this is not my all time favorite movie of their. This one is probably my least favorite out of all 10 and it's really because I know what is coming. I know the love, joy, heartache, tears, and just pure wonder that around the corner. I can't wait to share all of it with you. 


This movie I will say has one great highlight. The finally of the film comes to a head with they don't have the proper permits for entertainment for the new opening day at the hotel in Rio. They have to get creative. By that I mean they get some hands on plans and have the girl dancing on the plans while they are flying around the hotel. It's really well filmed and a really fun moment in the film. 


I hope that you will also watch it one day cause it's a cute film but I hope you also follow-up a few other of their movies to see how great they can become.
