Judy Garland and Fred Astaire star in Irving Berlin’s all-singing, all-dancing 1948 showstopper, Easter Parade.

When Don Hewes' (Fred Astaire) dance partner deserts him in order to pursue her own romantic and professional interests, the Broadway idol braggingly makes a bet that he can make any chorus girl into a star.

The chorine he chooses - almost at random - is Hannah Brown (Judy Garland). After trying unsuccessfully to turn Hannah into a version of his previous partner, Don comes to recognise Hannah’s unique talents and the pair embark on a career of their own.

Featuring music by Irving Berlin, Easter Parade includes some of Astaire and Garland’s best-known songs, such as “Easter Parade”, “Steppin’ Out with My Baby”, and “We’re a Couple of Swells”.
