Ginger Trouble
Abstract
This essay explores the significantly different representation of heterosexual romance in Carefree (Mark Sandrich, 1938), the penultimate movie in the enormously popular Depression-era cycle of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals, and attributes the difference to a shift in the construction of Rogers’s persona, starting with her performance in Stage Door (Gregory LaCava, 1937).
