George starred with Carole Lumbard in Rumba released on February 8, 1935. This was their second pairing in a musical and followed the hit film Bolero from the previous year. Their off-screen admiration and fondness for each other enhanced their on-screen romance in this film. Every motion in the final rumba is exquisitely performed, sensuous in every detail, and a testament to the talent of the actors. George was considered the best rumba dancer in Hollywood and this film proved it.
