Lecture - Travel in the Deco Era with Flying Down to Rio

Walter Nelson

Start: 06/06/2010 4:00 pm

In the 1930s, in the age of art deco streamline design, people were traveling farther and faster than any humans had ever traveled before. Fast cars, streamlined trains, luxury steamships, swift airliners, giant seaplanes and majestic Zeppelins opened up new horizons to those with the money to spend. Walter Nelson will present a program of film, poster art, photographs and music that will bring to life the experience and romance of travel in the years just before the Second World War.

This will be followed by the classic musical "Flying Down to Rio", with Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Dolores Del Rio and a host of other stars and marvelous music.

This is a joint presentation of the American Cinematheque and Art Deco Society of Los Angeles.

Lecture: 4 PM
Screening of Flying Down to Rio at 5 PM
