For some reason, I always think of the film Carefree (1938) as having been filmed in color. Maybe it's that "I Used to Be Colorblind" song. Or maybe it's that half of it takes place outdoors, where I'm sure of what colors the grass, sky, etc. are. (Although I found it amusing that in the menu art, the colorists couldn't decide whether to make Ginger's "Yam" dress green or red. Surely they had records somewhere? Maybe not. I always think of it as pinkish red, myself.)

It's not a film that rewards rewatching, by the way. It just gets creepier and more disturbing if you spend the least little amount of time thinking about it. The dances are fun, though. (Well. That slow motion one was...not the best decision that could've been made. But anyway.) And I do enjoy Amanda/Ginger's hypnosis-induced crime sprees, not to mention that sequence where she makes up a dream involving wolves and squirrels and "[her] persecutors." ("And then...they got me.")

What a coincidence!I plan to write a little post about
a missing scene from "Carefree" because I found two pics,
that seem to indicate that there were some cuts.
I'm really not so sure,but I think I will try to post
it in the Astaire LJ community.

One of those pics is the one of Fred as a doctor and trees behind? I recently saw it on Ebay.

Oh, please, write the post, I'm now intrigued.

Yes,it's one of those pics.I find it interesting,because
I saw it never before.And the background in the pic looked
really different from any "Carefree" set.But more about it
tomorrow.

Nor me, I just found it yesterday while checking ebay auctions. I heard about the scene and never saw any pic of that. Yes, the tree background was strange, kind of oniric one.

Ook, le'ts wait until tomorrow to read the post *sighs* ;)
