EASTER
PARADE (MGM - 1948)
(Release Date: March 15, 2005)
From Warner Home video: Strolling along
5th Avenue or going on the bum as "A Couple of Swells",
Judy Garland and Fred Astaire lead a parade of music (with
17 Irving Berlin tunes) and gotta-dance fun (including Astaire's "Drum
Crazy") in this never ending delight co-starring Ann
Miller (performing a knockout "Shaking the Blues Away")
and Peter Lawford (gamely crooning "A Fella with the
Umbrella" with Garland). Don't let this colorful Easter
Parade pass you by!
