Double Feature: THE GAY DIVORCEE, 1934, Warner Bros. 107 min. Dir. Mark Sandrich.

The prototypical Astaire-Rogers musical. [35mm]
Trailer
CAREFREE, 1938, Warner Bros., 83 min. Dir. Mark Sandrich. Featuring their longest screen kiss, this screwball musical pits Fred Astaire as Dr. Tony Flagg, a psychiatrist taking on patient Amanda Cooper (Ginger Rogers) - who is also the fiancée of his friend (Ralph Bellamy). Love and chaos ensue as Dr. Flagg tries to cure Amanda with hypnosis and ends up propelling her into a hilariously carefree state. Songs by Irving Berlin include “I Used to Be Color Blind” and the Oscar-nominated “Change Partners.” With Franklin Pangborn. [35mm]
