This is a very funny movie.
Stephen Arden (Ralph Bellamy) stumbles in drunk to the psychiatrist office. His friend Dr. Tony Flagg (Fred Astaire) is the psychiatrist. Stephen is upset that his girlfriend, Amanda Cooper (Ginger Rogers), keeps calling off their engagement for no reason and he wants Tony to psychoanalyze her to find out why.
Amanda overhears a recording of a conversation of Tony talking about how she will likely be another one of those dizzy silly females without a mind.
Tony changes his mind about her when he meets her, but now she's mad at him and refuses to be psychoanalyzed by him.
Fred Astaire does a great dancing golf routine in "Since They Turned 'Loch Lomond' into Swing."
Unknown to Amanda while she is out cycling with Stephen and her aunt Cora (Luella Gear); Stephen invited Tony along to try to psychoanalyze her.
After Tony crashes, when his bike chain breaks, Amanda feels sorry for him and agrees to psychoanalysis.
In a very funny scene Tony orders weird food combinations to try to get Amanda to dream, so he can psychoanalyze her dream.
Everyone but Amanda feels ill after the meal.
Amanda does dream, and she realizes that she's in love with Tony, after she dreams about dancing with him in "I Used to be Colorblind."
The rest of the movie is about Amanda in love with Tony;
and him not realizing he's also fallen in love with her, till it's about too late.
Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers do a really fun dance routine in "The Yam."
Fred Astaire sings a lovely rendition of "Change Partners."
Astaire and Rogers also preform a dance routine to "Change Partners."
Carefree is a very fun movie, and it is probably one of the funniest Astaire Rogers musicals.
