Description by OLDIES.com:

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 neverending delight co-starring Ann Miller (performing a knockout Shakin' the Blues Away) and Peter Lawford (gamely crooning The Fella with the Umbrella with Garland). Don't let this colorful Easter Parade pass you by!

Product Description:

An Irving Berlin spectacular in which Astaire plays the part of a dance man whose partner abandons the act. Fortunately, his new partner turns out to be Garland. This is the only picture in which the two superstars worked together. Academy Awards: Best Scoring of a Musical Picture.

Production Notes:

• Gene Kelly was originally set to star in the film. But he broke his ankle playing ball in his backyard, with family and friends just before the film went into production, so Astaire stepped into the role.
• Color by Technicolor.
