An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Herald (measures 4 1/2" x 8" when folded; 5 pages) (Learn More) Flying Down to Rio, the classic 1933 Thornton Freeland South America Rio De Janeiro Brazil airplane aviation pilot romantic love triangle musical ("Musical Romance Staged in the Clouds..."; "Too big for the world... So they staged it in the clouds... Too beautiful for words... So they set it to music!"; "Come, take a joy ride through the sky!"; "Romance that soars on the wings of song") starring Dolores Del Rio, Gene Raymond, Paul Roulien, Ginger Rogers, Fred Astaire, and Blanche Friderici. Note that this was the first of the ten movies Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers made together, which explains why they were fourth and fifth billed, and not pictured on any poster art! Also note that this movie was made at a time when Hollywood had a "love affair" with South America in general, and Brazil (and Rio de Janeiro). Paul Roulien was a Brazilian singer who came to Hollywood in 1931, and he sang in several movies. In this movie, he was part of a romantic love triangle with Dolores Del Rio and Gene Raymond, and it was his best role. In 1934, he returned to Brazil and quit acting in 1938.

They are similar to each other in layout, but there are substantial differences in the front cover image of each, and one measures 5" x 7" and the other measures 4" x 8". This herald was folded in half at one time as was originally intended. Condition: fair. The bottom edge of the herald is tattered and there is paper loss along that edge that affects the image on both sides. There is 5" of clean separation in the left of the crease of the herald that runs below the front cover part. Learn More about condition grades
