A quintessential piece of Thirties musical kookiness right out of Man Ray

CinePassion
Rating: 4/5 --
Notable musical for first pairing of Astaire and Rogers.
Video-Reviewmaster.com
The interest here isn't in the ensemble work-naturally a dancer hasn't much to contribute when she is fastened by both feet to the floor- but in seeing several dozen Hollywood extra girls hanging upside down over the bay of Rio.

Maclean's Magazine
Rating: 3/5 --
An OK musical that really sparkles when Fred and Ginger dance together for the first time.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Chiefly noteworthy for the presence of the excessively nimble and limp-jointed Fred Astaire, Flying Down to Rio is, by and large, a laborious musical film, in which the one funny line is lifted bodily from a current dirty joke.

Rating: 4/5 --
Charming, somewhat, quaint, endlessly clever movie that introduced Fred and Ginger to the world.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Description by OLDIES.com:
The fickle Amanda Cooper (Ginger Rogers) has postponed her wedding so often that her fianci (Ralph Bellamy) sends her best friend Tony Flagg (Fred Astaire), a psychoanalyst, to treat her. In spite of hypnosis and assorted other attempts at remedies, Amanda falls in love with Tony, and the rest is musical-comedy history.
