If you can't join 'em--beat 'em! When his long-time dance partner abandons him for the Ziegfeld Follies, Don Hewes decides to show who's who what's what by choosing any girl out of a chorus line and transforming her into a star. So he makes his choice and takes his chances. Of course, since Fred Astaire portrays Don and Judy Garland plays the chorine, we know we're in for an entertainment sure thing. Strolling along 5th Avenue or going on the bum as "A Couple Of Swells", Garland and Astaire lead a parade of music (17 Irving Berlin tunes and an Academy Award-wining adaptation score arranged by Johnny Green and Roger Erdens) and gotta-dance fun (including Astaire's "Drum Crazy") in this neverending delight that co-stars Ann Miller (performing a knockout "Shaking 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!

Editor's Note
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.
