'Flying down to Rio' [1933] é anterior à imposição do código Hayes de 1934, e é um deleite de cenas e frases picantes. A começar pelo vestido totalmente sugestivo de Ginger Rogers. Na cena em que Belinha [Dolores Del Rio] finalmente seduz o maestro loiro, Roger Bond [Gene Raymond] uma das americanas que sentava-se à mesa com ela pergunta num tom de muxoxo—What have these South Americans got below the equator that we haven't?
Na longa cena de "The Carioca', quando os dançarinos se rebolam e se requebram insinuantemente, um dos músicos da banda de Raymond exclama—No wonder it never gets cold in this country!
A melhor cena é a que se inicia com a palavra RIO em close-up. Quando a câmera se afasta, vemos que RIO está escrito na toalha do hotel que envolve a bunda do lider loiro da banda (Gene Raymond); o R e o O em cada nádega e o I no meio. Nada mal quando ele se vira, contando para o amigo brasileiro Julio Ribeiro (Raul Roulien), sua conquista da mulher perfeita, Belinha de Rezende (Miss Del Rio), que é, na verdade, a noiva de Julio. Roger retira a toalha, mostra o corpo atlético e se veste na frente do amigo. Uma cena inesquecível!
Há outras cenas engraçadas, uma delas com uma sequência de diálogos, quando Belinha (Del Rio), está dançando com o galante maestro. O gerente suiço do hotel vê aquilo e fica furioso, manda o subgerente avisar a Senhora de Rezende. O subgerente passa o recado p'ro garçon, que passa o recado p'ro carregador, que dá o recado p'ra serviçal da tia de Belinha:
— Tell Senhora de Rezende that her niece is dancing with the orchestra leader.
— Oh, waiter, tell The Rezende that Belinha is dancing with a musician.
— Hey, boy, tell Rezende the kid is dancing with the drummer.
— Tell the old sea lion that baby is hoofing with a piccolo player.
— Oh, madame, mademoiselle is going in a big way for a gigolo.
— Belinha? With a gigolo?!
— Oh, waiter, tell The Rezende that Belinha is dancing with a musician.
— Hey, boy, tell Rezende the kid is dancing with the drummer.
— Tell the old sea lion that baby is hoofing with a piccolo player.
— Oh, madame, mademoiselle is going in a big way for a gigolo.
— Belinha? With a gigolo?!
Gene Raymond was born Raymond Guion on 13 August 1908 in New York City.
A 2001 biography of Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald, Sweethearts by Sharon Rich, claims that Raymond had affairs with men during his marriage to MacDonald. The book includes documentation of Raymond being arrested on three occasions for sex-with-other-men: a photo of Raymond's January 1938 arrest and booking number (page 498 of the 2001 edition); a U.S. Army nurse is named and quoted concerning the second arrest; and retired Scotland Yard detective Joe Sampson confirms the third arrest, which occurred in England during World War II.
The book also claims that Louis B. Mayer engineered the marriage of MacDonald to Raymond—even though Mayer knew Raymond was bisexual - to prevent MacDonald from marrying Nelson Eddy. Mayer was concerned that a MacDonald-Eddy marriage would end in divorce, due to their temperaments, then he would lose his lucrative box office team. Also, Eddy wanted children and preferred MacDonald to at least semi-retire, which didn't please the studio mogul. While Mayer blessed the MacDonald-Raymond union, he had Raymond blacklisted following his 1938 arrest.
