Trivia and QuotesQuotes Fred Ayres: The trick is to keep your mind a blank.
Honey Hale: With THAT music?
Honey Hale: Oh, Freddie, is my mind red! Honey Hale: It`s like looking for a noodle in a haystack. Fred Ayres: Nothing of the kind. He`s landed us a job in Rio. Rio de Janeiro. The Hotel Atlantico. We`ll be flying down any morning now.
Honey Hale: And swimming back in the afternoon. I`m taking my water-wings. Fred Ayres: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. This is really good news. Rog has outdone himself.
Honey Hale: I`ll bet he`s broken both legs running after two women at the same time.Trivia Originally conceived by RKO as a vehicle for Dolores del Rio, this film is most notable for its star-making pairing of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. The two relative unknowns smoked up the screen in a dance number called "The Carioca" that generated such a positive response form critics and fans that they were eventually reunited in nine subsequent films. Joel McCrea was originally slated for the role of Roger Bond. In the original prints, the "Orchids in the Moonlight" number was color tinted. | ||
