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

Easter Parade is the sort of musical to put your feet up for.
Stephen Garrett, Time Out

A fantastic movie, featuring two of the finest motion picture performers ever, Astaire and Judy Garland, in their only cinematic pairing. Ann Miller also stars in there, too, to spice things up even more.

The Irving Berlin score is bright, and Walters is one director who knows when to leave Astaire to his own devices.
