Rating: 4 stars
Summary: exellent Easter-time musical
Review: Too good to watch just at Easter, this delightful musical stars Judy Garland and Fred Astaire. Actually, Gene Kelly was originally cast but had to pull out when he injured his leg. Astaire was pulled out of retirement for the role.

Astaire plays a vaudeville dancer whose partner (Ann Miller) leaves the act. A visit to a local bar finds a fetching chorus girl (Judy Garland), whom he offers the chance of becoming his new partner. They begin rehearsals, but he tries to change her to reflect his old partner. She tells him that she should just be herself, and soon they are the talk of the town.

However, the old dance partner is on the rise too, and starring in the Ziegfeld Follies, as the headliner, with them as part of the "chorus".

Featuring Miller's bravura rendition of "Shakin' The Blues Away", and the songs "Under An Umbrella", "Easter Parade" and "Steppin' Out With My Baby".
