By B. Obrien (london) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This DVD has restored a film from the MGM period of great musicals to its original state.Ive seen this film on many occaisions but never with such outstanding colour sound and clarity.Full marks!!!!
Also included is a commentary by John Fricke who gives you tons of information in a casual and not preaching manner.A must buy for all who apreciate the musicals of the Golden Age

5.0 out of 5 stars The only pairing of Judy and Fred, 6 Jun 2005
By Miguel M. Santos "miguelmsantos" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
"Easter Parade" is one of the most famous of the MGM musicals from the 1940s, combining for the only time the talents of two of the biggest stars in the genre: Judy Garland and Fred Astaire. Astaire is Don Hewes, a ballroom dancer abandoned by his parter (Ann Miller), who decides to make a chorus girl (Garland) into his new partner. What follows is a funny and romantic musical with some very good Irving Berlin songs.

This is definitely one of Garland's best films, and shows how good a comedienne and a singer she was - her timing during the scene where she dances with Astaire imitating Miller is a gem. I am not a very big fan of Astaire or his style of musical, but his numbers are quite good.

The DVD presents the newly restored copy along with an audio commentary, a making-of which is focused mostly in the songs, a Judy Garland trailer collection and outtakes for a deleted number, similar to Judy did later with "Get Happy" in "Summer stock".

5.0 out of 5 stars Join Fred + Judy on 5th Avenue for the Easter Parade, 29 Mar 2007
Garland's biggest money-maker for MGM and one of her greatest performances comes in the lovely musical 'Easter Parade'.

The storyline focuses on a Broadway dance star (Astaire) who has to find a dance partner to replace his former partner Ann Miller who's left him to join the Ziegfeld Follies. He just happens to stumble upon Judy Garland and from the then on the result is pure musical entertainment!

With a vast array of some old + some new Irving Berlin hit tunes in the score, it guarrantees a brilliant film in all aspects.

So get onto 5th Avenue + join the Easter Parade!
