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 we have never before auctioned this pressbook!

Note that in December 2021, we were consigned a truly remarkable collection of pressbooks (the first 37 were auctioned in our December Major Auction, and the most expensive one sold for $17,500!). In our regular auctions since, we have auctioned hundreds more from this collection. Now we continue to auction more of these pressbooks, which is absolutely the finest collection of pressbooks we have ever been consigned. In this set of auctions, most of the ones we are auctioning are larger pressbooks, mostly 11" x 15" or larger. Some of them were folded at one time, but they were stored unfolded for many years, so we left them unfolded, and unless the new owner requests otherwise, we will send them unfolded, because re-folding them would likely lessen the condition. Many of these are ones we have either never auctioned before or only once auctioned before, sometimes many years ago. These were collected decades ago, which was the only time that many of these could be found, and after these auctions are over it may be years (or decades!) before some of these are offered again. They ARE that rare! Note that pressbooks from the 1930s are almost never found in great condition, and some of them (especially those printed during World War II, including all the MGM ones from that time) are printed on newsprint, and are hard to find in even lesser condition. We have several images from each pressbook. We have given each an overall grade, and ask that you look at our images to get a good sense of the condition of that pressbook, because, since they have many pages, it would take forever to describe their condition in detail. However, EVERY one of these pressbooks is complete and uncut!
