Easter parade

Irving Berlin’s “Easter Parade” united Judy Garland and Fred Astaire, the screen’s top song and dance stars, for the first time. The story is about the ups and downs of a top dancing duo who split up after a long and successful career. The song and dance man is convinced that he can take any girl from the chorus line as a partner and become more famous, but he finds that he is in for a shock or two! Also features Ann Miller and Peter Lawford.
