Fun Time at the Easter Parade

In DVD
Let us walk back to 1948 to watch the production of Easter Parade.

Original Poster
This movie that fielded Fred Astaire and Judy Garland featured the songs of Irving Berlin and provides us a flash-back of what a super tap dancer Fred Astaire was.

At The Easter Parade Walk
The plot line has Don(Astaire) and Nadine (Ann Miller) a song and dance pair breaking up and Don got a new girl, Hannah Brown played by Judy Garland to be Nadine's replacement.

Ragtime  Violin 
While the story is highly predictable and with an innocent looking Judy pouting in many scenes, this movie has its appeal through the likes of Judy, Astaire and Peter Lawford

The Garland Mystique
The memorable songs from this movie are "It Only Happens when I Dance with You, Stepping out with My Baby, The Ragtime Violin and When the Midnight Choo-Choo Leaves for Alabam"

Judy's Cherubic Appeal
Great trip down memory lane with the soulful Judy Garland.
