ABOUT THE FILMS TOP HAT, 1935, Warner Bros., 101 min, USA, Dir: Mark Sandrich. In their most well-known musical, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers achieve sheer cinematic perfection as strangers who meet in a London hotel and are nearly broken apart by confusion over mistaken identities. With classic Irving Berlin songs including “Dancing Cheek to Cheek” and “Top Hat, White Tie and Tails.” FORMAT: 35mm CAREFREE, 1938, Warner Bros., 83 min, USA, 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. FORMAT: 35mm
