EASTER PARADE
(M.G.M.) F what the doctor ordered was complete relaxation on the intellectual level, then Easter Parade is as good a way as could be found for carrying out the order. It brings back Fred Astaire, as sprightly as ever and apparently as deft in’ his timing as he was | a*decade ago, revives some pleasant old Irving Berlin songs, introduces some new ones, allows Judy Garland scope for a little horseplay, includes a small ration of cheesecake (Ann Miller), and thanks to the ubiquitous | Miss Natalie Kalmus (how that woman does get around!) manages to wrap the lot up in dazzling technicolour. The | story (sic) is set in the hobble-skirt | period, but both the skirts and the | Easter bonnets look vaguely familiar. | As someone has _ pointed out, The | Whirligig of Time, Brings in His | Revenges.
