In this lavish musical, Broadway star Don Hewes' (Fred Astaire) dancing partner (Ann Miller) goes solo, and Don declares that he can make a hit performer out of the next dancer he sees. This turns out to be the inexperienced Hannah (Judy Garland), who bristles as Don tries to make her into his old partner. But as he realizes that he is falling in love with Hannah, Don knows that he must let her grow into her own kind of dancer if he wants her to reach her full potential.

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

Rated: 4/5

Terrific tunes engulf the screen. Top performances in each scene. "Easter Parade" evokes such joy! It's like a stunning shiny toy.

Irving Berlin's music includes some of his best-known songs, such as the irresistible title tune, "Steppin' Out with My Baby" and "We're a Couple of Swells," which Garland performs in her tramp's outfit and which became one of her signatures.

This film had great potential i.e. stars, some songs etc but essentially was a vehicle for Fred and judy The story was poor and it showed. Is watchable but felt cheated at the end because it could have been so much better

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

A delightfully entertaining musical. Astaire and Garland have wonderful chemistry but Ann Miller steals the show here with her jaw dropping dance sequences.

An All Time Classic. The acting is very well done with great chemistry between Fred & Judy and Ann Miller as well. This is full of charm and lavish production value along with very well done camera work. The songs numbers are the highlight for sure with a lot of numbers ranging from very good to amazing. Usually if the songs aren't that catchy its made up for by amazing dancing and vice versa. This is a very well edited film that while sometimes slow during non musical scenes particularly in the middle at times, this flies by and because there is so many numbers in this it flies by most of the time. The only minor knit picks would be again it can be slow a bit in the middle (The waiter showing how the salad is made felt totally unneeded and dragged the scene) but still good scenes on their own, and the numbers half the time don't tie into what is happening on screen. However, they do tie in to the plot if that makes sense (This is a bit tricky to explain). honestly though these are such minor things that don't take away from the overall experience. This is charming, happy, and very entertaining Musical to watch. Everyone should give this a try once.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
