@AlainPY : the original film’s title is Flying Down to Rio, 1933 starring Dolores del Rio & Gene Raymond in the leading roles. It’s also Fred & Ginger’s first teaming in supporting characters and they’re immediately at their best, thanks to the fact that, thanks heaven, there’s no romance but plenty of dance and funny dialogues.

I remember clearly this wonderful singing group in the charts when I was a boy along with other fabulous black singing artists who changed popular music talent forever. Ironic at the time when America was so shamefully racist.
