Carefree (released in other English-speaking countries as "Amanda"), the 1938 Mark Sandrich singing-and-dancing romantic musical comedy ("Let the rhythm ring!... Fred and Ginger are back again"; "Fred and Ginger together again!"; "So you think Fred and Ginger are good, eh?... Well, you ain't seen nothin' yet!... You haven't seen dancing until you see the greatest dancers in the world in the greatest picture they ever made!... Never before such romantic flair, such abandoned fun, such excitement and interest and delightful plot in an Astaire-Rogers offering!... Never before such richness of production!... And the four Berlin songs are said to be the best he ever wrote!..."; "It's honey for the jitterbugs, it's fun for you and me. The Dance you sing and swing and slam- That rhythm dream. The Yam!"; "Here they come!... Dancing to your heart's content!... Dashing, bubbling, floating on a cloud of rhythm through a romance that will make you sigh as much as you laugh, and thrill as much as you tap your toes! Welcome, Fred and Ginger, in you biggest hit of all!"; "See them do 'The Yam'"; "Lyrics and Music by Irving Berlin"; "Story and Adaptation by Dudley Nichols and Hagar Wilde") starring Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Ralph Bellamy, Luella Gear, Jack Carson, Clarence Kolb, Franklin Pangborn, and Walter Kingsford. Note that this was one of the nine wonderful movies that Astaire and Rogers made between 1933 and 1939 (they made one final movie, "The Barkleys of Broadway", eleven years later in 1949).

Important Added Info: Note that this poster is printed on the back of part of a map! Why is this? During World War II, there were massive paper shortages in Belgium. Where Belgian movie posters had previously been approximately 23" x 32", there was such a shortage of paper that not only did they often have to print them on the back of other posters or maps, but during World War II, the size of the posters shrank dramatically, with some of them as small as 11" x 15". This situation continued even after World War II, until around 1946 or 1947, when they began making Belgian movie posters in a size of roughly 14" x 22", which became the standard size, and continued for decades! The posters like these that are from during World War II or immediately after, and which are printed in a small size (often on the back of other posters or maps) are INCREDIBLY rare (surely they did not print many, and surely many of them were soon recycled themselves!

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster was printed on the back of part of another poster . The blank borders were trimmed off and the poster was folded across the middle, and there are a great number of smudges and dot stains scattered throughout the poster, including in the stars' faces. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they replaced the missing blank borders. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above, and have closely looked at our super-sized image.
