After his dancing partner Nadine Hale (Ann Miller) signs a contract to begin life working on her own as a singer/dancer, Don Hewes (Fred Astaire) picks Hannah (Judy Garland) out of the chorus line and determines to make her a star. Astaire's dance solos are great and include "Steppin' Out with My Baby," and the hobo routine "We're a Couple of Swells" performed by Astaire and Garland is especially fun to watch. Irving Berlin wrote the Oscar-winning score for this musical classic that includes the title song "Easter Parade."
