Lights, Camera, Deco: Flying Down to Rio
Date: Sunday, June 16, 2019
Time: 4–6:30pm
Location: The Wolfsonian–FIU @ 1001 Washington Avenue + Miami Beach Cinematheque @ 1130 Washington Avenue
Some say it’s a masterpiece, others claim it was an elaborate advertisement for Pan-Am. In the second film of our Deco series with the Miami Beach Cinematheque, Thornton Freeland’s 1933 musical Flying Down to Rio, a young couple explores a complicated attraction first in Miami, and then in the air. With the debut pairing of Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire, some in-flight piano playing, and an aerial ballet with chorus girls, Flying Down to Rio is sure to impress. Learn about Streamline Moderne through a 4pm tour of Deco: Luxury to Mass Market at The Wolfsonian before experiencing Flying Down to Rio at the Cinematheque at 5pm.
$11; FREE* for MBC and Wolfsonian members, seniors, and students. Get your tickets here!
