Easter Parade

Ok, I haven't written in some time. I truly am sorry. But I will make this post worth your while. Haha

Fred Astaire. What else do I really need to say? Any movie that the King of Dance is in is automatically going to be a classic. This is just one of his many classics. Joining him as his lead female costar is Judy Garland. She does an impeccable job as Hannah Brown. Peter Lawford and Anne Miller also join Astaire and Garland.

Astaire plays a vaudevillian dancer whose partner, Miller, deserts him because she is infatuated with Johnny, played by Lawford. Johnny on the other hand wants nothing to do with her other than be a friend. He wants to see the two back together. But Astaire takes on a new partner, played by Garland. Garland and Astaire see Miller walking in the Easter Parade and Fred promises that in one year, everyone in the parade will be looking at Judy and not at Miller.

Judy's and Fred's characters fall in love over the one year time period and Astaire almost louses up their romance and their dancing team. But Johnny, who originally had a crush on Garland, helps to patch things up and the two are brought together again and go to the Easter Parade, where Astaire proposes to Garland.

I've got to say, it is like my family's tradition to watch this movie every Easter Sunday, along with "It's A Wonderful Life" on Christmas Eve.

Anyhow, I hope ya'll had a wonderful and blessed Easter!

God Bless 'til I get back from Beeton-ton!!!
