Free Screening: Flying Down to Rio
Fred & Ginger
July 13 - 15, 2018
Celluloid history is made as fourth- and fifth-billed Rogers and Astaire steal the show in their first pairing, a zingy Pre-Code fun machine bursting with slangy innuendo, jazzy musical numbers, and outré optical effects.

This zesty, zingy Pre-Code fun machine was designed as a vehicle for haute leading lady Dolores Del Rio and towheaded Gene Raymond—but it was fourth- and fifth-billed Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire who ran away with the show.
