Easter Parade is a musical with old and new Irving Berlin tunes and standout dance numbers.

Easter Parade may not strike the perfect balance between song-dance interludes and story, but it's an appealing show just the same.

It is Easter Paradewith Fred Astaire that’s the prime example of what made Frances Gumm our Judy Garland.

A fantastic movie, featuring two of the finest motion picture performers ever, Astaire and Judy Garland, in their only cinematic pairing. Ann Miller also stars in there, too, to spice things up even more.
