Easter Parade (1948)
Directed by Charles Walters
On the day before Easter in 1911, Don Hewes is crushed when his dancing partner (and object of affection) Nadine Hale refuses to start a new contract with him. To prove Nadine's not important to him, Don acquires innocent new protege Hannah Brown, vowing to make her a star in time for next year's Easter parade.

What critics compared Easter Parade to
Not since Easter Parade has the screen seen such over-the-top millinery.
Made towards the tail end of the Arthur Freed production era at MGM that spawned "Meet Me in St Louis", "Easter Parade", "On the Town", and "An American in Paris", it was first seen as a means of using many of the songs that Freed and Nacio Herb Brown had written 20 years earlier when talkies were in their infancy.
