Yvonne Gerard and Mildred Lehrman in 1933 at the Hollywood film studio RKO Radio Pictures.

The frame is the official promo shot for the cult musical pre-code film "Flying Down to Rio", 1933. Yvonne and Mildred, who acted as chorus girls, pose on the wing and in the cockpit of a biplane aircraft, advertising the famous final number of the painting.

The film is famous for a combination musical number that was completely insane at the time, in which dozens of semi-naked dancers perform choreographic elements directly on the wings of airplanes flying in the sky (full-size mockups on suspensions)

The archive production code of the RKO studio is written in white font in the lower right corner of the photo : NY-707-89-Adv.

This is a special studio marking (promo code), which Hollywood film laboratories in the 1930s applied directly to the negative before printing promotional images.:

NY-707 is an alphanumeric cipher assigned to a specific film project, in this case, the musical film Flight to Rio (1933).

89 is the serial number of a specific frame or shooting scene in the general database of promotional materials for this film.
