One Dress a Day Challenge

Not-a-Dress November

Flying Down to Rio / Dolores del Rio as Belinha de Rezende

and

The Gay Divorcee / Betty Grable as "Dance Specialty"

This "pajama" ensemble with its wide legs and textured shoulders has always looked strangely space-age to me. It's the kind of thing the aliens would wear in a low-budget sci-fi movie from the 1950s--but it actually dates from a couple of decades earlier. Dolores del Rio wore it for a brief scene in Flying Down to Rio in 1933. A year later, teenage Betty Grable wore it when she played an unnamed girl at a resort in The Gay Divorcee. She did a comic song and dance called "Let's K-nock K-nees" (pronouncing the Ks). Yeah, that movie squeaked under the wire just before the Hays Code kicked in!

It's always hard to guess color from black-and-white movies, of course, but this looks to me like it's just got to be silver.

Watching Every Ginger Rogers Movie I Can Find: Flying Down to Rio

Ginger's character: Honey Hale.

At first I was worried I'd get bored because Ginger didn't play the lead, but it's a really fun movie to watch.

I love the first scene she appears in. The camera zooming in on her until she turns forward revealing her identity. For me, who was just waiting for Ginger, it was exciting.

I also love Honey Hale's personality, she is fun and chic and sassy. She and Fred have so much chemistry together (as we all know), their scenes leave me with a giant smile on my face.

Music Makes Me

Another thing I loved was seeing Honey sing "Music Makes Me". The lyrics is fun. The dress is magnificent. And the way Ginger plays it is the cutest!

(Honorable mention for the looks Fred Ayres gives to Honey Hale while she sings, or should I say, the looks Fred Astaire gives to Ginger Rogers)

Carioca

And finally I couldn't not mention Honey and Fred dancing "Carioca". I have no words to describe how I love to see this duo dancing.

(When they smile like that my heart melts with love)

I had a great time watching Flying Down To Rio ♡

The airplane that the character Roger Bond flies in Flying Down to Rio (1933) is a Monocoupe 90, designed in 1930 by Don Luscombe. It was capable of top speeds of up to 115 MPH, a very high-performance airplane for its day.

I don't think I'll ever get over the fact that in "Flying down to Rio" Fred's character was actually called 'Fred Ayres'. 😄 (One could possibly even argue that it is interesting how Ginger married Lew Ayres one year after this movie came out and his second name was Frederick. 😏😄)

Fred&Ginger's karmic resonance playing out around them in their movies is sometimes really funny and also a joy to behold. ☺️🌞

Also I can't quite get over how long-term compatible they would have been if they had spent their lives closer together, seeing how Fred later went into breeding horses and Ginger owned a ranch and did a lot of horse riding during her later life, and beautifully so. I mean it's totally okay how they spent their lives and who they loved and everything. I just often can't help but see the golden thread that weaved all through their respective lives and always somehow connected them together, and I'm pretty sure that I'm only seeing the surface here. 💗
