THE ASTOR REVIEW

The first Astaire-Rogers musical, although they are relegated to supporting status behind Del Rio and Raymond. Still, it was enough to make them stars and a team that epitomizes the height of American musical films. The slim story revolves around singer Del Rio’s two suitors and receives a splendid, art deco production. Showgirls dancing on plane wings in flight provide a memorable moment. PN Preceded by The Cairo Club Orchestra live on stage – Special Prices $24/$21 – No Free List.
