Judy Easter Parade 1948 A Coupleof swells

[@Orcl1100]

Judy came up with their costumes for the number. Fred knew this wasn’t a tuxedo dance number that he did with Ginger. Rita. Etc. Judy went to his trailer in costume and said “Fred, is this too much?” The rest is movie musical history

[@juliag.5114]

you can tell they had a good time filming this

[@pianoplayrpiano99]

I'm watching this in 2024 for the umpteenth time, and Fred and Judy are still brilliant as ever. ❤

[@thirabx6954]

Yes it's my musical

[@jl3322]

It’s all Judy!

[@Berlitz81]

My hangup is that I remember this first time around, just about.

[@coldocean]

There is absolutely nothing else like this in the history of musical film. It's just brilliant, a joy to watch over and over and over. How I miss both of them.

[@maryhall5955]

WONDERFUL MUSIC. VERY TALENTED PEOPLE. Hard to find this kind of talent. Mary

[@neilparkin5153]

Impeccable performance from two true greats.

[@marcellalafond2157]

Incredible performance Fred Astire and Judy Garland. What a pair. THATS ENTERTAINMENT 🎉❤🎉

[@kandybcat]

I loved this. 1:30 1:34 1:35 1:37 1

[@kandybcat]

Loved this. I watch it against every day

[@annenunney9907]

Absolutely brilliant

[@georgepeterson841]

We miss you, and we always will. You brought goodness and light to this selfish world we live in.

[@charlesshaw3431]

The MostSupreme Musical Performance of ALL TIME ; Purposely Poignant yet hilarious fun .... Finest Performance by Finest Musical Performers Ever !

[@richardcummins5465]

Brilliant. And a word of praise for those MAGICAL Hollywood Orchestral Arrangements. The sounds of those Orchestras were VITAL to the success of many films.

[@miltonsmith974]

I couldn't take my eyes off of Judy during this entire number. She dominated every movement.

[@yohannbiimu]

I get the impression that Fred Astaire kind of laid low and allowed Judy to shine as much as possible. I could be wrong, but I just think that's how he was, he'd had just returned from "retirement" to do this picture, and Judy was still "a kid". I think he was a very magnanimous guy.

[@Lady.B.ellinor4971]

If only we had actors that that could act sing and dance like this today ❤

[@windstorm1000]

Agreed if only!

[@CynthiaPollack-on4us]

But first you have to have the IT Factor

[@anthonyfrew1571]

The world has given in to realty television - talentless celebrities(in some cases) it is all very sad

[@BarbaraJaneP]

They exist on Broadway, but most movie prodcers won't invest in musicals now.

[@Lady.B.ellinor4971]

@@BarbaraJaneP I think things will change, people are becoming bored with films that are all artificial intelligence and want reality and though actors went on strike over AI it's been around a long time and they never complained when it made them look good in films. The only good actors are the ones that also have the guts to perform live theatre.

[@rosariagrisorio4185]

Just perfect

[@ElizabethPattison]

I just never tire of watching this...its magical and timeless

[@gazza2933]

Just pure genius. Both of them. A Happy and Safe Easter Everyone. 🐣 🇺🇸 🇬🇧

[@noname-bf1ob]

Eyes are on Judy here. Fred is wonderful too, but Judy knocks this out of the park. So cute! Miss you both!

[@Corinthian44]

Fred Astaire and Judy Garland , performing a great Irving Berlin song , it doesn't get any better than this !

[@Corinthian44]

I still watch this about once a week , a timeless classic !

[@juliag.5114]

4:01 judy’s little hair flapping around always gets a giggle out of me

[@keepcalmandcarryon8934]

Masterpiece...Astaire is Astaire, Judy is ... incredibly talented here. I can see her soul. Both of them are my medecine.

[@rickmartini4811]

Judy Can Do Anything an No Wrong , She is THE GREATEST EVER 💋

[@roslyndecanio81]

Fred and Judy got along great! Cute number!

[@barbnorton]

THE VERY BEST!!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ~Love this! Love Them Both.❤️👍🏽👍🏽💕 -SO Cute! Priceless!!! And Precious. True Professionals and Performers! No words… Love the number.👍🏽😃❤️😄

[@jl3322]

At 26 Judy at her zenith in her movie career. My favorite Judy scene from all her musicals. She was THE entertainer of the 20th century. I never once saw Fred during this number.

[@JimsJims-ot6ol]

I never tire of this .. two show business legends!!

[@radiofriendly]

First time seeing this clip. Judy seems to be effortlessly, almost improvising this with a feeling of freedom. More than a touch of vaudeville style, just transcendent face and eyes. Incredible.

[@janeelstree4984]

I agree; I feel that not often enough does she get the chance to ‘do her own thing’ and Fred-he’s enjoying himself immensely as are we.

[@JustineWittich]

Every bit as good as the first time I saw it on the big screen! They were the best!

[@chattyroz2934]

Just fabulous, and terrific picture quality too so it can be fully enjoyed. It looks like it was made yesterday and I very much doubt that anything made today could possibly compare.

[@pascaljeanne8002]

the ultimate talent , at a level ...too high for the actual dancer etc ! noone can do this again ! and im always blown away , " how a lady like that can dance like that ???? " !

[@2Hearts3]

Completely professional, superbly talented, a heart of gold-- you were over the rainbow all along, Judy 👏🏆🐦🌈

[@HerrDoktor-g2q]

Most Awesome! Never tire of watching this!

[@yvonneplant9434]

Easter Parade was a huge hit for MGM. And Astaire came out of retirement to do it.

[@lotharhempel]

I do love it so so very much! Judy is incredibly sweet and charming in this one! Never gets old!

[@sm1135ster1]

So joyful to watch, thankyou.

[@christinedavies5740]

I am mezmorized by Judy, can't take my eyes off her.

[@richardcummins5465]

Yep me too . What a beauty, even as a tramp ❤❤

[@mariepaone851]

They were great.❤

[@PRODIGY2099]

Great duo! I can't stop looking at Judy Garland!

[@PaulMcElveen]

Brilliant, Charming, Entertaining, Excellent Fun, Precise Song and Dance Number. Judy Garland is the one who really stands out in this number! Judy Garland is very charming, expressive and funny!

[@bobbernfield4102]

I was drawn to Judy the moment she appeared and was never distracted by Fred the entire performance. I get the feeling that he was either playing down or was intimidated due to his enormous respect for Judy's abilities. He was quoted as saying she was the most talented performer that existed or will ever exist.

[@yohannbiimu]

I get the impression that Fred Astaire kind of laid low and allowed Judy to shine as much as possible. I could be wrong, but I just think that's how he was, he'd had just returned from "retirement" to do this picture, and Judy was still "a kid". I think he was a very magnanimous guy.

[@starababa1985]

Fred was always the gentleman and allowed his female partners to shine. You can see how much flash Judy's costume and makeup had compared to his toned down version. He was also attentive to every detail in the planning of a dance routine, especially the beginning and the exit, so the audience found every moment entertaining.

[@kenalanfitness]

Simple. Melodic. Irresistible. Entertaining as hell. One of those numbers that never seems to get boring. Will continue to be joyful for another 100 years. Judy matches and out-dances Fred...whoever thought? Love this.

[@maryhall5955]

WONDERFUL SONGS Judy and Fred Astaire. Thank you. MARY

[@christophermcguire8352]

There, was fellow Hollywooders a golden age, today's isn't it

[@patriciaoreilly8907]

Absolutely fabulous 😊 timeless 😊 RIP Judy & Fred much loved & adored 😊 sorely missed.

[@johngalvin6010]

Irving Berlin wrote this song besides hundreds of others. It's one of the best & even better with the great singer Judy Garland, who's facial expressions are so charming & my favourite dancer Fred Astaire. I love singing along to this with them on my playlist.

[@Tonyandfloyd]

Gosh! What great entertainment. Makes you feel good while watching it, patting my feet and moving my hands with the music. Pure clean wholesome escapism.

[@michelles2299]

I watched this film when I was a child and I absolutely loved this part 🙏

[@williamclarke5658]

A Cinematic Musical Great !!!

[@docb4948]

Judy was fantastic but Fred is just in a league of his own in his precise moves.

[@jl3322]

Who said the studio system was bad? These actors with talent were taught how to bring there performances to their zenith!

[@Chico-yg5yw]

I love this

[@deanelyjah712]

Finally arrived today from Los Angeles, thank you #EMIRecords & #WarnerBrosPictures!!! xoxoxo

[@CynthiaPollack-on4us]

I heard her say live on the interview that playing a trap as one of her favorite things to

[@jayneturl6440]

Fred is just so brilliant in this … just watch him!

[@charlesshaw3431]

A Favourite of Mother & Fathers ... I can Recall Father Speaking The Words " Easter Parade " with Awesome Appreciative Tone of Voice ..& Mother Likwise ... They Would have Seen it at local Picture house when it 1st came to U K ; Lucky Buggers !

[@christopher-ke9nj]

God preserve them

[@AlwaysReady1900]

I'm 30s yrs watching this. How old are you watching this? I never knew of them. Just stumbled on this beautiful film as I was looking for Nat King Cole. Heading for some old classical movie - The sound of music 1965. I previously watched it when growing up. I Love Judy music.😇

[@CGGouldSisters]

Fred Astaire & Judy Garland were excellent in this number! Here's our re-enactment of them doing this tune: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3fZmmBrhsx1ntU

[@galenrath8321]

I can't take my eyes off of her. Whose the guy she's dancing with?

[@gajendrakhanna5729]

The Great Fred Astaire

[@richardcummins5465]

You serious? 😂😂

[@marthareid9226]

Judy Garland & Fred Astire!!!!!!!

[@roxydog2004]

Thats Entertainment: Part's 1- 2- 3 has this and more

[@jayneturl6440]

Fred Astaire ❤️

[@Adventure.with.Robbie]

How life has changed

[@nazaren45]

🙂👍

[@johnnorman4416]

Theyu are both great, but this is maybe the only time I ever saw Fred Astaire upstaged by his dance partner. Your're eyes are simply focused on Judy. And I say this as someone who was never a big fan of Judy Garland

[@richardcummins5465]

Judy even looks beautiful as a tramp ❤❤

[@maclanty5324]

THIS IS A LHA COMPLETÊ RENDITION, OTHERS ONLINE DON`T ! 🤭

[@michelles2299]

Who thinks Fred looks like Richard Madeley in this clip

[@carmelcrowley158]

Imagine 1948

[@terrygrant3467]

With all due respect to Fred, but, Fred entered Judy's world on this number and she killed him. Fred is to reserved in this number, he never really looked comfortable. Judy stoled this number the second she walked on the stage, just look at her face. She looked as though she was having a ball, and Fred just looked out of place. Judy could do it all, Fred not quite.

[@lotharhempel]

Terry Grant Sorry to disagree slightly: yes, of course she is absolutely fantastic, but he gives her all the space to truly shine! That‘s a quality. They are true „partners“ here. Love them both!

[@paulfreeman2433]

I think they're both having a ball...

[@Corinthian44]

I wonder why , Fred was always known as the ultimate perfectionist !

[@Corinthian44]

To say Fred Astaire wasn't up to the dancing is like saying Caruso couldn't sing !

[@janeelstree4984]

Here, here.

[@fiddleronthecube7835]

Judy was so much looser and funnier than Fred. She was having way too much fun. You can see it in her eyes.

[@autoclearanceuk7191]

Fred Astaire looks too old to be with Judy here.

[@richardcummins5465]

He probably was . He came out of retirement especially to take part. ❤
