Lot Essay

This rare one-sheet for Flying Down To Rio has had areas where the female characters, considered by the Dutch censors to be too risquè in their dress, painted over in green and red watercolour.

The film itself is notable for the famous dance sequences on the wings of moving planes, and for the first on-screen appearance of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
