About the book

"Illustrated with evocative stills, Astaire and Rogers provides a unique account of two of Hollywood's most memorable performers. It will be enjoyed by the couple's many lifelong fans and by anyone who has savored the almost weightless elegance of their dancing."--BOOK JACKET.

First sentence: The status of Flying Down to Rio as marking the opening of the Astaire-Rogers cycle is purely retrospective: its audience and its producers could not know of the films to come with which we associate it, and if conditions had arisen to prevent the making of another movie with these two actors, there would be no light thrown on it by the rest of the cycle.
