For so many of us film buffs,
Easter Parade (1948) is the must watch movie today. The film is as delightful as movie musicals get and I love every second of it. It features Fred Astaire and Judy Garland at the top of their game and it is hard not to wish the duo made more films together after watching it.
Here are some vintage advertisements for the film. Many of these show MGM tooting their own horn as they loved to do.

When MGM's
The Three Musketeers (1948) outperformed MGM's own
Easter Parade, this just made Leo the Lion toot his own horn even more.

Happy Easter my friends.
