CAREFREE

Details

• Release Year: 1938
• Genre: Classic, Comedy, Musical, Romance
• Plot: Chalk up another success for psychiatrist Tony Flagg (Fred Astaire). Amanda Cooper (Ginger Rogers), his weddingphobic patient, is now crazy to get married...as long as the groom is Tony!; ; With its antic comedy (Ginger, zombied out on psycho-therapy and love, heaves a nightstick through a glazier's glass) and its thumping of psychiatric funnybones, Carefree is 'Fred and Ginger's most comedic outing, wacky and offbeat' (Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide). The score's romantic classic is Irving Berlin's Change Partners. The duo also shares the slow-motion dreamscape of I Used to be Color Blind and jives through The Yam. And Fred tees off on Since They Turned Loch Lomond into Swing, a sequence that took two weeks and 600 golf balls to film. In dance, as on the links, practice makes perfect.
