REVIEWS:

"Easter Parade may not strike the perfect balance between song-dance interludes and story, but it's an appealing show just the same. .... Fred Astaire, who has no peer, is dancing at the top of his form. .... For sheer simplicity and poetry of motion, his dancing in 'Easter Parade' would be difficult to equal. ....
'A Couple of Swells'...is one of the best numbers in the show, with Astaire
and Miss Garland decked out in rag-tag splendor."
