That's right, I've made a secular choice for Easter Sunday, as this classic musical from the 1940's is basically an excuse to see Fred Astaire and Judy Garland at the height of their careers, and in the only movie they ever made together. Taking place over a year between Easter 1911 and 1912, Fred decides to groom inexperienced chorus girl Judy into becoming his new dance partner, and over the course of this film, a whopping 17 songs are performed. That's a lot of talent on display, and even though the two stars aren't evenly matched as far as the dancing goes (which is why professional tap dancer Ann Miller gets an entire solo number), Judy still does some of her best singing. It's always exciting to simply see the two of them onscreen in the first place, so enjoy your Easter holiday with this completely entertaining and highly enjoyable musical.
